Hello all! I am new to posting here, but I've read so many amazing things (as I've lurked for a little less than a year!) I am a screenwriter and have my first optioned piece for Netflix! Thank you for allowing me into your universe of screenwriting. Hopefully I can collaborate with some of you! |

Oh for sure! I just started watching the marvel show the gifted, but a lot of different genres intrigue me. My optioned show can be found: http://www.tvlockwood.com... I am writing two other shows, too and they're completely different genres than the one being optioned... Just hope my writing is good enough. Once my new two pilots are finished I will most definitely post them up. |

Welcome, Stacee,
Hello back... Writers are a separate creature than other people. It's awesome to have a place like this where we can kind of gather and understand each other. -Andrea |

Sorry for the late reply! It was all through my agent! It's a lengthy process and it's taking months, but it'll be all worth the wait if they proceed with it! I wouldn't write more than just a pilot script if you're writing a series. Don't pick the cast, don't do anything over the top with it. Make sure you have your story bible/pitch ready, too, because it's VERY important. I haven't gotten in with a movie, yet. I haven't finished my script for it, but I plan on producing that. Movies are a lot easier to get revenue back for investors than television series are, so movies are a better bet in the long run. I've had a lot of people turn me down and tell me to make my tv series into a movie, but I didn't. I just kept improving the script and it's now in a powerful place. (Reminds me of Stranger Things) |

Stacee, thanks so much for the reply and thanks for the elaboration. I'm thinking you must have done something great to get that Agent in the first place. It's a chicken and egg situation with a lot of us writers. All the very best with the Option. Hope all comes to fruition and we can all watch it. SS is a great place for getting exposure for your work, meeting (at least virtually) other writers etc. I hope you'll post some of your other work sometime soon, even if a WIP Here: https://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-workinprogress/Or, here: https://www.simplyscripts.com/submit_your_script_new.htmlAny other questions feel free to ask. |
