When should I expect my rejection letter?

supermikeman · 07-07-2011

I sent in a description and a first episode draft for a show I came up with to Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block about two months ago.I'm waiting to hear back with a Yay, or a Nay. What I'm wondering is how long should I wait to expect something back from them. The script was pretty good but I'm not expecting to get a pilot right away. I wondered if anybody on here has had any rejection experience from a network and how long it takes for them to write you back. (I'm basically hoping for acknowledgement of my work. lol.)

Can't speak for TV networks, but I have worked with record labels. If it was unsolicited, odds are you're not going to hear back from them unless they like it. The labels I've worked for have had policies of not acknowledging receipt of demos and refusing to sign for unsolicited packages. You have to be careful or someone who sent in some unsolicited, long-forgotten (or ignored) demo sues because something you did produce bears some superficial resemblance to demo. Acknowledgement gives them more ammo.
