A Little Victory!

My rom-com, "Goes Around," was just selected to be submitted to an independent producer in an OWA (after the strike, of course). I've been on Stage 32 since May and this is my second script to get chosen for one of these. That gives me an uneasy sense of validation. Thanks to all involved!

Robin Gregory
