Hey all, been making my living as a screenwriter and novelist for over three decades now. My produced film credit, feature and TV, can be found on IMDB and have two projects in development now at two different networks. My new Vella, SCRAPS, is live on Amazon's Kindle Vella. It's been a blast writing an ongoing literary series! I'll have a new novel THE WEDDING GIFT out next summer. I love writing, and if I'm not working on assignment or on a project I sold, I'm writing a new novel or working on a spec script (usually working on a few things at a time.) And I intend to keep SCRAPS running on Kindle Vella for quite a while as it is based on a series pitch I had with a projection company that fell out, and I had a pilot written and a bible for fives seasons. Great not to let an IP just sit on the shelf and turn it into something people can read.

Great to meet you, Bart Baker! Oh, wow, congratulations on your successful writing career, that's amazing! Do you find you like novel writing more?
You may have already discovered the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting) and the Authoring Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/playwriting), but definitely check out the Transmedia Lounge - there have been a lot of discussions about ways to take an IP and adapt it for other mediums - podcasts, tabletop gaming, video games, just to name a few: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/transmedia
Keep in mind that these lounges are like the VIP Filmmaker's Lounges at Film Festivals, so this is where you can meet the people doing the work, get advice on anything you're working on, and/or give back to those who may need advice. We're a very supportive and encouraging community! I think you'd also enjoy my blog post on how to get the most out of the Stage32 Community:
