Familiar with publishing, new(ish) to film

Hello, everyone! Even though I've been at Stage 32 a long time I don't recall ever properly introducing myself to the community. My career in publishing began back in 1999, and since then I've published 16 books, been nominated for eight awards, and received the HWA Specialty Press Award for my work as co-founder of a traditional publishing company (Raw Dog Screaming Press/Dog Star Books). Through it all my goal has always been to refocus on my original creative interest: filmmaking and screenplays! This year I'm going all in on screenwriting, and can't wait to meet all the film enthusiasts here. Looking forward to great discussions and professional networking!

Whoops! I forgot to add I'm newish to film because even though I've been involved in 5 short films over the last couple decades, those efforts were always on the side, so I never broke through to feature film or TV. Been on location filming in harsh conditions, been a producer, been onscreen, but still *so* much to learn.
