I just wanted to introduce myself to the community and write that I am excited for this platform. I am currently a general manager at an automotive dealership. Writing has been my passion since I could read. I loved being taken away to a different time or place and writing helped me explore my fantasy world, in my head! I have written a feature and am currently working on a series for network. I have the pilot and two episodes written. I am here to meet people that can help with advice on, mainly how to get representation to sell my series. I have been working on this for two years and many re-writes later, I believe it is ready for production and will blow people's mind. My characters have been born and re-born into characters that the audience will love!
I have my scripts on The Blacklist, InkTip, and TV Writers Vault. Are there any others I should be listing on? I have also entered my pilot on Final Draft's Big Break Contest and have several industry execs proofing my work right now. I would love any and all feedback!
Thanks and can't wait to meet that one person, that will get me OUT of this car dealership lol
Hi Kathryn, great to have you here! I love that you're auto-dealing by day, writing by night. You're in the right place - you'll find a ton of support from the community here. Also, since you're a writer you should definitely meet our Director of Script Services Jason Mirch (j.mirch@stage32.com) and our coordinator Nick Assunto. They're great resources for you!

Welcome to the family, Kathryn. Great to hear that you are following your passion. My first passion has always been screenwriting, followed by acting. The first saved my life as a bullied teenager, and the second made me face all my fears. Good luck.

Kathryn, I would suggest going to as many Film Festivals and real networking events as you can. The more you are around it and meet people, the more you can build your Inner Circle. Oh, and WELCOME Aboard! GOD BLESS and STAY FRESH! <3

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome and responses! Things have been moving quickly the last two weeks... A major studio has reviewed my pitch, a management company is reviewing my pilot and I'm in 3 contests right now! Just a little more about my journey.... My father passed two days before Christmas in 2015, he was the world to me. He told me while he could still speak, "don't cry for me because I lived 3 lifetimes! Just promise when you get the chance to jump, do it with both feet!" I started writing after that, and now I'm ready to forge my career. I wasn't always invited to the party, but I was never asked to leave either lol, so here I come!
That is true passion and needed in this environment! My gosh, thank you for that extra insight!
