Looking for a Black writing partner

Whats the best way to find a Black writing partner on Stage 32?

Aaron Weisblatt

thanks. I'm a white guy writing a black character and it's a sensitive issue and having someone who has lived in that world, would be very helpful to be authentic and also help sell it.

Agreed, posting a job listing would be the best way: https://www.stage32.com/find-jobs/add

Also, be prepared to answer more in-depth questions about what from their experience you're hoping they can speak to. Urban, Suburban, rural upbringing? Socio-economic background? Male or female identity? Religious or not? Family or career-oriented?

And then you'll want to go into what you'll hope they can bring to the table as a writer - comedy or drama, character-building or dialogue, genre or grounded concepts, etc.

Good luck!
