Sweet video Gregg! So happy for you! Hope you smash it out of the park! Bec

Iam happy for you dear

Hi Gregg. Always nice to meet another New Yorker!

Very nice. Hope you continue to do wonderful things

Thanks everyone for the kind words and encouragement! Connect up with me if you haven't already! :)

Yes I do. I'm a client of some strong Agents at a couple of Boutique agencies. We have longstanding professional relationships that required years to formulate via in person relationships. I know nothing of you/your work so I won't jeopardize my relationship by blindly introducing you to them. No professional writer ever will. You attend writer's retreats, seminars, festivals, screenwriting classes...on & on. Flash your work around and if it's marketable; an Agent will find you. That's pretty much the way it worked for me and for a couple of professional writers I know. Nobody's gonna hand it to you and nobody says that it's easy.

I never said I wanted anything handed to me nor did I think it would be easy. I have been looking. I'm just new to this and needed some help and insight.

Also I don't too much care for your tone or energy. Please do not comment on my post again. Respectfully, thank you

Hi Ellesa, we have some great resources that can help connect you with agents and managers. One way many of our writers have been able to find success is through script consultation calls. This way, you can choose an executive whose interests match up with your script, and you'll be able to talk to them and form a connection. Check out our script consulting page here: https://www.stage32.com/scriptservices/consulting

Thanks so much

Me three. Good luck

Hi everyone, our founder and CEO Richard Botto answers this question a lot. I'd recommend first of all, following him on Instagram for amazing advice: @rbwalksintoabar. I'd also recommend watching the videos where he's answered this. Here are some:

Thanks so much

I will email him. He has sent me emails. However, everything is like $200-300 to send to someone. I quit nursing in January to commit myself fully to writing so I don't have that kind of money right now.

Oh ok thanks

Congrats!

Thanks so much

Hope the offers keep coming

Me too David..thanks

Congratulations, that's fantastic!

I’m a podcast writer looking for an intern who can fact-check and revise dialogue by a neurologist character. Do you have experience treating aphasia and other neurological disorders?

Have you tried to find people who need medical consultants for projects they are working on? That might be your foot in the door. I've learned that sometimes the thing that you think is hindering you, may be the one thing that makes you stand out. Good luck...crossing my fingers and believing with you!

Hang in there and keep at it! Every bit of experience you have will be a real asset in the right job.

Hi Ellesa! Absolutely keep at it, everyone starts at ground zero no matter what stage in life they’re at and you’re not the only one at the beginning of your passion. Hang in there, do what you love and keep at it and you’ll get there and I love all the positive comments and recommendations from everyone helping out. You are not alone in this community!

I am literally brought to tears from all the positivity. You guys are truly amazing. Zo happy to be apart of stage 32.
