A lil' Introduction
my name is Jay Donaldson. I write a lot of short stories and draw, and am learning to adapt my writing for screenplays. I'm a transman and this matters to me a lot as I'd ultimately like to help tell stories from marginalised communities: representation matters. I'm also looking for good source materials as I'm putting together an acting reel.

Hi Jay Arron Donaldson, Welcome to Stage 32! So glad to have you here. The lounges are the place to go at first. The screenwriting lounge will be a wealth of knowledge and a good spot to start networking with your fellow writers. We also have the largest film, television, and digital content library. There are several webinars alone about adapting material to screenplays. This one for example: https://www.stage32.com/webinars/The-Adaptation-Journey-Adapting-an-exis....
