Screenwriting : So here's what's working for me at Stage 32 by Eric Christopherson

So here's what's working for me at Stage 32

Pretty much everything. And I think it's useful to know what's possible here.

I've been using the "premium" coverage service so that I can choose the exec who provides me coverage. It's always a good idea, I think, to select someone from a company that produces in your genre. I've received good to great notes each time, and I've had my script passed along for consideration within my reader's company several times. Recently one such script resulted in a multi-year option offer.

Twice my scripts have made the Stage 32 LookBook, which is blasted out every so often to industry execs with info on the scripts that have earned a double recommend or, as I believe is now the case, at least one recommend and one consider. I've had a total of three script requests via the LookBook, including from an A-list manager and an A-list production company.

More recently, I joined the Writers' Room, which offers a smorgasbord of activities and opportunities (that I would particularly recommend to writers at an early stage and those at later stages with a lot of time to devote to screenwriting), and have begun submitting to the Open Writing Assignments, or OWAs, that spring up fairly regularly now. An A-list production company recently requested one of my scripts.

Bear in mind I've been at this game for a while now, and I have a half dozen scripts under my belt already, so your mileage may vary.

Congrats on your success, Eric.

I've found these things on Stage 32 useful: lounges, blogs, the logline section (which can be found on your page - if anyone is wondering where it is), the browse section (browsing for producers, directors, etc.), the job section, webinars, Pitch Sessions, Script Read/Consultation Call, direct message, and the Writers' Room.

Always good to hear the success stories Eric Christopherson. You show what happens when you put in the work. You already has 6 scripts under your belt which is great. Your name is getting known because people are reading your work. As they say it's a marathon, not a sprint.
