Hey everyone, I graduated from Film School about half a year ago and am finding it is almost impossible to find ways to make money writing. I was wondering if anyone knew of any job posting boards or ways to make a start as a paid screenwriter.
Cobi - I and a couple of others in this forum have been staff writers in the TV environment at one time or another and that's about as close as you can get to being a paid writer - It ain't a glamorous job. Screenwriters are basically self employed; we write spec scripts and hustle to sell 'em. And once we sell a few, it generally gets easier. Maybe you can find a job as an editor and work on rewriting and polishing someone else's work but I seriously doubt that you'll find any such job offered as an entry level position. Best of luck to you in any case.
