Introduce Yourself : Sarah Landauer - Aspiring Screenwriter by Sarah Landauer

Hi! I'm Sarah, a recent graduate from Hollins University and an aspiring screenwriter. I primarily write science fiction (probably because I love science but hated math too much to go through all the classes to get a career in astronomy or genetics). I've completed one feature script and am working on my second—I need to build up my portfolio. My favorite part of working on a screenplay is revision, especially when given feedback. I also love research...maybe a little too much. I interned last summer at Principato-Young Entertainment, which I loved mostly because I got to read and cover scripts most of the time. Once the managers found out I actually enjoyed writing coverage, they sent me lots of scripts, even if I wasn't interning under them directly. Since I love scripts so much and they teach me a ton about how to hone my own craft, I'm trying to get my foot in the door by hopefully finding a job in a story department somewhere. Until I find a job in this industry, I'm keeping busy writing, entering competitions and fellowships, blogging, and working as a copy editor for a publishing press. I've read great things about this site and the community, so I'm very excited to join up. Thanks for having me!
