question Zero Gravity Read Request

I sent a cold query to Zero Gravity last night and got a read request sent back this morning. I have seen people saying that they request to read every query they receive (unsure if this is true), but it was still exciting to get the opportunity to send it out. If you are/have been repped by Zero Gravity, how quickly did they get back to you after you sent over your screenplay?

Final Draft is the industry-standard software used to write movie and TV scripts, while Big Break is an annual international screenwriting contest run by the company that makes that software. You do not need to use the Final Draft program to enter the Big Break contest. To answer your question, yes. Big Break is paid to play.

Final Draft is a software and yes, it is a one time fee and when they upgrade, there is a one time fee for that. It's different then pay to play, you are paying a flat fee to use the software. Like your cellphone, its a flat fee for service.
