Hi everyone! I just wanted to give a big shoutout to Stage 32—because back in 2022, I had no contacts and no clue where to begin my screenwriting journey. That all changed when I booked a Career Development Call with Jason Mirch, who introduced me to my incredible writing partner and collaborator, Laurie Ashbourne.
Since then, Laurie and I have received critical acclaim, numerous accolades, and glowing reviews for our work together. It all started with a dream to write a book—my debut novel, One Mad Apple, based on real events from my life. That story became an award-winning book and script and found success on the festival circuit.
Excited to connect, collaborate, and support fellow storytellers on this amazing platform. Let's make something unforgettable.

Congratulations on the critical acclaim, numerous accolades, and glowing reviews, Tom Pratt and Laurie! Laurie made a similar post in the Screenwriting Lounge a few weeks ago (www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting/A-Stage-32-Connection-to-Multi-Awar...).
