Hey, Sandee! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage 32. If you'd like to learn more about myself and the Stage32 Team, we have an intro blog: https://www.stage32.com/blog/Meet-the-Stage-32-Team Nice to meet you and welcome to the community!

I’m sure you’ve already discovered the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting), but I'd LOVE for you to stop in the Animation Lounge as well! https://www.stage32.com/lounge/animation Actually, there have been some conversations of late about writing and developing for multiple mediums in the Transmedia Lounge of late - I'd love your input, and I know other members would love to learn from your experience! https://www.stage32.com/lounge/transmedia
Keep in mind that these lounges are like the VIP Filmmaker's Lounges at Film Festivals, so this is where you can meet the people doing the work, get advice on anything you're working on, and/or give back to those who may need advice.
