Just heard back from them and they said you can submit a script that has already been optioned, in case that makes a difference to anyone. Ladies, you should take this opportunity. Especially since Don is being so nice. |

Ladies of a certain age,
Kicking this back into play as a reminder that if you are an American Citizen or Permanent Resident, have a full length screenplay and a log line and a few minutes to fill out a form there is no reason not to take a few minutes to enter. The barrier to entry is a net zero for you.
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Ladies,
We've had our first entry into The Writers Lab 2017. I will not say who unless the individual wishes it to be known. Remember, the deadline is March 23rd. Please consider entering. Remember cost is not a barrier to entry.

Avatars? Pssh... That's for Quakers. Lol. =) Wouldn't that be cool if you were the Alien Queen?! Then again, maybe it'd be better to be Ripley? (Except for Alien3, of course). |

Thanks Pia. I am hung up on what genre to write for this. I have some 'ready' concepts I'd love to write but I wish they had a list of what has won in the past. |

Dena, I honestly think they are looking for signs of talent. I read through their website and any genre is good. From what I understand, they are not looking for a script to shoot, just looking for signs of talent. The writers they think have that and get to go to this, will be helped to sharpen that talent. At least that's how I saw it. I wish you other girls here at SS, that fit the age criteria, would take advantage of Don's generosity and apply. |

That third one's going to go down in history, along with such classics as "To be or not to be?" and "It was a dark and stormy night...". Lol. =) |
