Amazon Buys MGM Film Studio
An Interesting Bit of News… In a month with a lot of entertainment news, this event sort of stood out. But here is a paragraph from Jane Freidman’s newsletter called Hotsheet that I found fascinating about the purchase. (You should subscribe to the newsletter, trust me.) “The $8.45 billion acquisition includes a catalog of 17,000 TV shows and 4,000 films. The press release quotes an Amazon executive as saying, “The real financial value behind this deal is the treasure trove of IP in the deep catalog that we plan to reimagine and develop together with MGM’s talented team.

I am not sorry. First, a short story. Ten years ago I met a writer at a conference that was all excited about finishing a novel and getting the novel to an agent. (I had known this beginning writer from a few years before. Very promising writer.) A name writer at the conference who was still lost in traditional publishing had provided an introduction to this baby writer to an agent. Make note,…
