Hello folks, I am a screenwriter from the Atlanta, Georgia, area, and I'd really like my work to get some exposure. I do a little bit of everything. Period drama, Sci Fi, horror. I'm eager to quit my day job, so let me know if you have any suggestions for getting some of my projects off the ground. Mark S. England
Hey Mark, Don't mean to discourage you in any way but it takes, on average, a screenwriter about 10 years to break in. However, networking with the right person could bring luck. You don't have to impress everyone, just the right one. Good luck

Welcome to the community, Mark! Seek opportunities through networking and once you feel your scripts are ready to be read by pros, enter screenwriting contests that provide the upmost opportunity for you as a writer. Check out the screenwriting lounge as well for tips and inspiration. Happy writing!
Thanks, guys. Happy to join the forum.

Do not quit your job before you make a break through from any of your works. Honestly, make more break through before quitting unless you have enough saving to last some times for survival. Anyway, all the best.
Don't worry. I'm not quitting my day job until I can make a successful switch to writing full time.
