Carina S. Burns - congratulations!! What is your approach in completing the project?
Great to hear an update, Carina S. Burns! Happy 2023!
Ok, if that doesn't get me banned, let's have some convo on this...
It's like this, see: Screenwriters get all the pitches they can swing a bat at. Soooo, how about us book writers? It seems a wee daft to hack together a script just so we can slap down the plastic to pitch a novel/narrative for adapt...

Expand commentHi Morgan Aitken - great suggestion!! There is definitely a need to help author's connect too! Glad Sam Sokolow was here to see it! :)...
Expand commentBrilliant suggestion Morgan Aitken and yes, so many adaptations going on, it would be an excellent addition to Stage 32. And yes, price point is an issue, but with the correct one, it be great to get...
Expand commentPrecisely, @D.E. White : price point. Screenwriters can try their pitches in front of an exec for $35 but the only option for writers with a literary work they'd like to see about adapting for film/TV...

I help produce a YouTube channel created by writer/director/actor Julia Fowler. Julia creates in an authentic southern voice. When the industry didn’t fully embrace Julia’s work. saying that the audience “wasn’t there”, she launched the The Southern Women Channel to find her audience. Millions of vi...

As promised, after various discussions about writing 'design briefs', here is the brief for my new label, 'Lucent Dark'.
You will notice how brief the brief is! Colse Leung runs his own design company. I pay him a monthly retainer and this means that he is at my beck and call (ha!) whenever there's a...
Expand postI should point out that after this brief is posted to the designer, a conversation ensues. He asks for images to be sent, that somehow exemplify in some way, the feel or look, I am wanting.
He will th...
Expand commentL. Tom Deaver thank you Tom. I think when you find a designer who ‘gets it’ and ‘gets you’ then they are gold dust.
I never have to force it and I’ve learned from him that he has a better eye for thing...
Expand commentHello! Does anyone know if there is a source to verify if a contact is legitimate on adapting a novel you write? I got an email claiming to be CBS Films but I'm not positive it's actually them.
I got the same email. Assumed it was spam. If it's for real, usually a clerk or intern from a real agency - you can ring up and ask to speak to said person - gets in touch to ask if rights are available. Then later you might hear from an agent or rep.
Dominic DiMarco - this is a quick hack, but I will search an email in google to see if it exists and then do another search like :
"email@me.com" scam
and see what comes up....
Expand commentThank you everyone for the great advice! Turns out to be a scam, and looking closer makes much more sense. Despite the letdown, makes me eager to get more scripts going and query agents soon! Thank you again everybody!!
Hi Dominic DiMarco - always ask for references and referrals from our Stage forums. That's what we're here for! :)
Kick-back this Sunday and listen to a talk from James Baldwin, who for this Brit is the standout social commentator and essayist of American life, in the 20th Century.

Expand postPersonally, I'm not really sure what romance writing is. Seriously, it looks to me like fiction. What draws the line between fiction and romance? Is it the level of snogging and snagging that defines...

Just introducing myself and nosing around the lounge... Like a goat smelling butts and body parts. Hello!
