Just wanted to check in. I started my fiction writing life as a novelist and short story writer. Mysteries, in particular. However, I also write screenplays. And have enjoyed a few minor successes on that score.
What else can I say? My first novel made the NY Times ebook bestseller list. So, that's a thing, right? :) It's also been optioned by a local (as in Maryland) producer.
I have a podcast called the Crime Cafe, where I interview other crime, suspense, and thriller authors. So ... content providers, right? :)
And I blog. A lot. But enough about me.
Sometimes I get so busy with stuff, I forget how awesome Stage 32 is for meeting people virtually!
So ... forgive my lengthy absences. I know you're here. And so am I. Sometimes. :)
BTW, my website is www.debbimack.com. Feel free to drop by and say hello back! :) waving

Expand commentHey William. We've been through this several times. We refer to it as being invited to the party a lot but never asked to the table. Rather than go on about the instances, let me just say that the only way around it is through it. Just keep moving forward. Plow through. It is a "happens more often than not" situation, you just need to skipper your ship on a steady course until you land that invite to the table.

Expand commentAlso miss baseball. I live in OKC so we have the Minor League for the LA Dodgers. Personally a Yankees fan. And picked up the Disney+ bundle a few months ago that included ESPN+ so I could watch the games. MLB Network is showing classic games- even showed the 1968 World Series. But like baseball there are fought times, and you have to run its corse. And move on.
You got this!

I'm a Rockies fan, myself, and miss baseball so much that I ended up making the character of my last screenplay a baseball superfan. Several of my scenes are set at the ballpark.
Hang in there! Fingers crossed you get invited to the table soon!!!
Hi William, I share your question as I have 3 completed feature film screenplays that I want to see in the hands of those who can produce, and await the answer to your query of the best way for those without representation and agents to get it in the hands of someone who can produce it..
