Hi everyone! In support of ALL writers during the WGA strike, we are offering everyone here a free month of the Writers' Room for new members.

As for our exclusive open writing assignments, Stage 32 stands with the WGA. In accordance, all screenplays that are accepted for open writing assignments will have their scripts delivered after the strike ends. If a manager requests your script now, we will deliver the script as you are allowed to seek representation during the strike.

We've had 17 writers have requests in the last week. Congratulations to all of them!

New open writing assignments are introduced every 2 weeks and are exclusive to Stage 32 and members of the Writers Room. Current open writing assignments include:

-Producer Reading Western Features

If that wasn't enough, this month we have the legendary Howard Deutch coming in for a workshop this month. Howard directed classics such as PRETTY IN PINK, THE GREAT OUTDOORS, SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL, and THE REPLACEMENTS before transitioning to an in demand television director of such shows as EMPIRE, YOUNG SHELDON, THE STRAIN, JANE THE VIRGIN and many more. Howard will be talking feature and TV writing, the writer/director relationship and much more. This webcast is also available to you with your FREE month.

Over 15,000 screenwriters have joined the Writers' Room and we'd love to have you involved with this vibrant community so you can stay inspired, motivated and productive during the strike and have yourself in a position to win once the gates open again.

Hi Rachel. I'm RB, Founder and CEO of Stage 32. As a screenwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker, I know first-hand the challenges all creatives face finding work, landing representation, launching projects, securing funding and simply making the connections that will make a difference in their careers. That's why I created Stage 32. Since our launch in September of 2011, the community has grown to 1,000,000+ members representing every country on the planet making Stage 32 the social network uniquely populated with the most creative people on Earth.

This is a network for you, built by you. Like most things in life, the more you participate, the greater the rewards. We ask all new members to pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.

Thanks for joining the movement and for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. I very much look forward to your contributions.

Thanks, and have a creative day!

RB
