Thank you Dan and Rutger . What feedback can you give me on my logline? I will definitely check out logline.it

Rutger Oosterhoff

It feels like you have two stories here, instead of one. Also are there""male witches"; are they not called different-sorcerer? Not sure... But I guess I know what you want to say: these people come t...

Thanks Rutger. That is very constructive. The notes are very helpful. It sure needs a lot of help. I will get it right :)

Deja Vu????

Kind of odd how I get requested to submit material to a company that has already viewed and passed on the same material they requested to view over a month and a half ago. Makes me wonder if these people ever converse with each other... Oh well, what can it hurt to resend it, right?

Patricia Poulos

Yes Ricky. Although I won't be submitting any more pitches to execs offered. I think I'll just rely on Festivals and their feedback. Although it may finish up being the same, at least you have more exposure.

James Drago

Strange post. Different people have different tastes. Never, ever question a read.

Ricky Long

James, the situation itself is strange. I'm not questioning a 'read', I'm questioning a company that passed on a pitch (which was fine), but now wants me to resubmit it for consideration. I know it mo...

Lorato, it's great to have you here from Johannesburg! Also, congrats on your high honors while getting your BA. Have you always wanted to write? It really seems like a passion for you, so I wonder if you were writing even as a little kid?

Lorato Phefo

Hi Amanda, Thank you. Growing up I used to write a lot of poetry and short stories in whatever book I got my hands on, This was from when I was about 12 but I still didn't know if this is something I...

Phil Williams
Screenwriter in Worthing

Hi all, I've been a screenwriter for a while but only recently started trying to get involved in the business (lots of abandoned first drafts on my hard drive!). Based in Worthing, UK, and eager to connect with people and learn about any local events. I've self-published a few books, novels and gram...

Hi Phil, I would definitely like to connect. It would be great to collaborate with someone across the world with different world views.

How do I start? Help?!

Hello all, I have had a little gem of an idea which I would like to wittle up into a screenplay, however, although I am an experienced writer, this is a totally new format for me, so I would be incredibly grateful if anyone could give me a few pointers, golden rules, 10 commandments, whatever you wa...
