Introduce Yourself : Greetings Everyone from Ireland, the beautiful Emerald Isle by Sarah Jane Mc Carthy

Sarah Jane Mc Carthy

Greetings Everyone from Ireland, the beautiful Emerald Isle

Just wanted to say hi to all of my fellow creatives here on Stage 32. I joined Stage 32 seven years ago, but only recently re-joined after a significant break.

I am the author of the Project Code-X Trilogy of books - a mystery, sci-fi series. So if you are looking for your next great read, you can download a free copy of my first book 'Alpha is the Beginning' right here at https://sarahjanemccarthy.weeb... .

I am also a screenwriter, having adapted my book series for the big screen myself. If you could spare a moment to rate my loglines here on Stage 32, I would be ever so grateful... https://stage32.com/sarahjanem...

I am always looking for collaboration opportunities, so if you would like to reach out, please feel free to do so! Or if I can be of any service to you, whether that is rating a logline or something else, please just let me know!

I look forward to reading all of your interesting bios and learning about your creative projects.

Thank you so much!

Welcome (back) Sarah, a buddy of mine from grad school is from Cork! Your trilogy sounds very interesting. I think I read that Netflix is looking for screenwriters who are specifically adapting their own books...

Sarah Jane Mc Carthy

Hey Mike! Wow, small world! Thank you so much, and thanks for the heads up re Netflix!

Mike Childress

Sarah Jane Mc Carthy I find that people from Cork are VERY PROUD of the fact! No worries. Not sure if it was on this site or somewhere else, but mayhap someone on here with info re: Netflix will see this and respond.

Sarah Jane Mc Carthy

LOL that is because Cork is known as the "Rebel County"! Actually I just found a webinar that may have the details. I'll post it here in case anyone want to check it out also https://www.stage32.com/education/search?term=Netflix&h=how-netflix-pick...

Sarah Jane Mc Carthy I couldn't get either of the links above to open. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Anyways, would love to check out the first book of yours.

Sarah Jane Mc Carthy

Oh no Jeff! Really? It is https:// sarahjanemccarthy.weebly.com but all joined together and https:// stage32/sarahjanemccarthy

Jeff Briggs

Sarah Jane Mc Carthy That worked!! Thank you. Can't wait to give it a read. I'm hoping this gives me some inspiration for a new song.

Sarah Jane Mc Carthy

That's super cool Jeff. Would love to hear what you come up with. I listened to a lot of The Dark Knight Rises Soundtrack while writing this book. It was kind of my inspirational film score. Don't know if that helps any.

Jeff Briggs

Sarah Jane Mc Carthy Yes it does and that is also one of my favorite soundtracks!

Gisele Orellana

Hi Sarah,

Wait, you adapted your book series into scripts for the big screen?!

Sarah Jane Mc Carthy

Yes Jeff Briggs it's a fantastic soundtrack, very ominous and foreboding! lol

Sarah Jane Mc Carthy

I did, Gisele. It was actually much harder than I thought it would be. I had to make many changes, as a lot of things didn't carry over to the screenplays.

Maurice Vaughan

Welcome back, Sarah Jane Mc Carthy. It's great to meet you. I'm about to check out your loglines.

Sarah Jane Mc Carthy

Thanks Maurice Vaughan I really appreciate it. And so glad to be back in this positive and inspiring community!! :)

Sara Elizabeth Timmins

Welcome! I just got of a call with a literary manager and we were literally just taking about how sci-fi and women in Sci-Fi is huge now so great great timing. And there is so much production going on in Ireland (we have a project we are shooting there next year). Sounds like you are in a great position to go make things happen!

Sarah Jane Mc Carthy

Omg, thank you Sara! That is so encouraging to hear. My script was rejected several times, but I have gotten some really great feedback, on it, which I have since incorporated. I also have gotten both my scripts professionally edited, so they are in good shape now. You are shooting in Ireland?! How wonderful! What part?

Tom Lapke

I was also on that call with Sara Elizabeth Timmins . The overarching theme was that they are actively looking for women in horror and sci-fi writing. Also, I went to read your log lines and got a dead link, FYI.

Sarah Jane Mc Carthy

Hi Tom, thanks for sharing that. Sorry for some reason the links would not come through in the post. They are https://sarahjanemccarthy.weebly.com but all joined together and https://stage32/sarahjanemccarthy

Sarah Jane Mc Carthy

Sarah Jane Mc Carthy

@Mike Geekdom lol

Abeeha Alam

Cool, Sarah Jane Mc Carthy! That's awesome that you adapted your book series yourself.

Gisele Orellana

I can't imagine the amount of work and dedication you've put into writing your book series and then writing the scripts, Sarah. Who better than you to adapt your book series into screenplays? I wish you the best with making it a reality!

Sarah Jane Mc Carthy

Such a truly lovely comment Gisele Orellana ! Thank you so much, that's very kind!

Brian Smith

That's a lot of great work, Sarah! I am in the middle of writing my own trilogy as well, that I am also turning into screenplays. All the best to you!

Sarah Jane Mc Carthy

Oh that is really cool Brian. Will take a look at your bio there now.
