Got A Reality TV Show Idea To Pitch? Producers Scouting Pitches from All Corners of the Country.

TVWritersVault.com has transformed the way Hollywood is scouting new reality TV show ideas, with top Producers discovering new show ideas pitched by creative people from around the country, delivering deals, and shows produced.

"There is a huge drive by Producers to find that next hit Reality TV family or business. They're making deals with anyone from anywhere."

What does a used-car salesman, a pageant coach, a private investigator, a tire store manager, an escape artist, a chainsaw sculptor and a former air traffic controller all have in common? They've all pitched and sold ideas for reality tv shows about their lives using the TV Writers Vault. The site now only educated writers on how to pitch a TV show , but connects them directly with buyers scouting the marketplace.

Reality TV Producers and Networks have made the site an industry standard for sourcing new pitches, transforming the way Hollywood is scouting new shows for Reality TV, and delivering deals for anyone with an interesting life they feel could be the basis for a reality series. TV Writers Vault founder, Scott Manville says, "There is a huge drive by Producers at the site to find that next hit reality TV family or business. For those pitches with potential, they're making deals with anyone from anywhere."

CBS Studios International Exec, Paul Gilbert, commented on the value of the site for the industry, stating, "The service is a very valuable asset for anyone involved in programming and production".

To date, countless other aspiring Writers have pitched TV show ideas and connected with Producers. The first deal ever secured using the site was pitched by a former pro-wrestler turned used-car salesman, and picked up by the Sr. VP of Reality Programming for Fox TV Studios. That opened the door for Producers reaching out to discover new shows pitched by ordinary people with extraordinary ideas. Notable companies with Producers scouting the site include; Relativity Media, Lifetime TV, Fox TV Studios, ABC, CBS, Discovery/TLC, Sony Pictures TV, and more than three hundred others.

Lifetime TV 's newest hit series, " Kim of Queens ", stars pageant coach and entrepreneur Kim Gravel, transforming country girls into beauty queens. Gravel was discovered pitching her show concepts at the site, ultimately landing a deal with Relativity Television where the show was developed and has now received an official order for a second season. Manville serves as Producer on the series. The site has also been responsible for the discovery of two other series that have aired globally. The Discovery Channel reality series, " Saw Dogs " followed the eccentric trade of extreme chainsaw sculpting, airing 13 episodes in primetime for the network globally. SyFy Channel's " Deals From The Darkside " reality series followed escape artist Steve Santini in his trade discovering and dealing in macabre artifacts, also airing internationally on A&E Australia, and UKTV.

Oliver Bogner, Executive Producer at Fremantle Media North America (Producers of "American Idol", and many hit docu-style reality shows) makes TV Writers Vault his secret weapon for scouting new projects. He explains, "...For buyers, it's all about who could be the next Millionaire Matchmaker or Dog The Bounty Hunter, and with The TV Writers Vault I get direct access to television worthy talents pitching their stories and ideas. We're always looking for the next big show, and TVWritersVault.com has become a valuable tool. It's my little development secret for finding hot new projects and people to build shows around. I have personally optioned a number of ideas from the TV Writer's Vault, and I'm actually in discussions with a major network right now based on a show with a person I met through the TV Writers Vault."

"It's all about characters and content", adds Manville. "They want individuals and families with lifestyles and professions that are compelling to watch. Every week we have people connecting with Producers, and everyday Producers are at the site scouting new show ideas."

Among the many success stories ; Dorie Geniesse, a former Air Traffic Controller from Mazomanie, WI. sold 7 concepts for docu-style reality projects, including a multi-project development deal with the Executive Producers of "Mobbed"(FOX). She gives credit to the site, saying "I wouldn't have one project in front of anyone had it not been for the TV Writers Vault. Without them, I never would have gotten to work with these wonderful Producers".

David Howe, a tire store manager from Maryland, used the TV Writers Vault to pitch his own reality-series based on his life and the ironic fact that he is a Royal Prince and direct descendent of the Royal Family- a real life "King Ralph". Producers loved the premise, and struck a deal with him to produce the show. In a recent interview, Howe was asked if he'd recommend the site to others pitching reality show ideas. His response- "Without question. You just can't get this kind of exposure anywhere else."

Leisa Naples, an entrepreneurial mother of two sets of identical twins, was courted by two major companies- Dick Clark Productions, and Fremantle Media, using Manville's services, ultimately settling with a mid-level company for a Co-Executive Producer Credit and greater financial participation when the series is produced.
