Happy Thanksgiving to you all! I am new to Stage 32 and noticed how many submission emails I receive and they are all are paid. But Writers Forum seems with the monthly fees are still a better deal to reach agents, producers, directors? I am not sure if those submissions anyone is looking at, and if they realize for anyone in signing an agent, finding a film producer? Hope you can share your experience with that.

Hi, Tatiana McClintock. Happy Thanksgiving! I’m a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. I wanted to let you know that I moved your post from the Acting Lounge to the Screenwriting Lounge since it's about the Writers' Room. Let me know if you have any questions.
You can sign up for your first month of the Writers’ Room free here: www.stage32.com/writers-room/plans-vip
There's a lot of perks in the Writers’ Room:
You can submit your scripts to Open Writing Assignments (OWAs). Here's a post that explains what a Stage 32 OWA is: www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting/What-is-an-OWA
The Coverage Reports are every Monday. WR members read a member's script and write feedback on the script before the Coverage Report, then everyone gives their feedback during the Coverage Report.
There's an Executive Hour webcast every week where an executive comes in and talks about the industry, gives advice, etc.
Pitch Practice is every Thursday night at 5:30 P.M. PST/8:30 P.M. EST. You can sit in and listen to members practice their projects and give them feedback. You can pitch your project too, but you have to sign up. The hosts, Noel Thompson and John Mezes, take names during Pitch Practice for people to pitch the following week. You have to sit in and listen at the practice before you can pitch (I think once or twice). One night each month is the Pitch Practice Happy Hour where everyone hangs out and gets to know each other better. I think it's the 3rd or 4th week every month.
The Pitch Tank in the Writers’ Room is an incredible pitching resource too. The Pitch Tank is where you pitch your script to an executive and get feedback. The Pitch Tank is once a month.
There's a Writers' Cafe different times throughout the week. The Writers' Cafe is like a writing accountability group/encouragement group.
There's also a private Writers’ Room Lounge for members to network, ask questions, and more.
The Writer's Toolkit. The toolkit has documents to help you on your screenwriting journey. Documents like scripts you can read, pitch decks, a query letter template, etc.
And there are other WR perks (I'm copying and pasting from the "Frequently Asked Questions" section on the Writers' Room portal page):
10% off Stage 32 Coverage, Consultations, Contest entries
10% off Stage 32 Next Level Education Labs and Classes
Annual members receive 1 (one) free contest entry per year
Surprise Perks including Free webinars, discounted Pitch Sessions, and more! The savings that you’ll get on the services pays for the Writers’ Room membership! The more you utilize the Stage 32 services, the more valuable the membership becomes!
