About Star Trek

• "Star Trek has proven itself to be an abiding phenomenon in the world of science fiction, myth and screenwriting. It continues to provide us with entertainment, and for the script writer it remains a market open to freelance sales. The Star Trek producers and writers maintain a hot line for writers to call to learn about the shows....Believe it or not, Star Trek wants you to succeed. They have a very big machine that eats scripts... and spits them out as finished shows during the season." - Judy Burns, Star Trek and the Craft of Script Writing'' (1996)
