Greetings from a writer of historical fiction

Hello to all the writers out there on this Sunday. I'm a screenwriter who focuses on historical fiction. I savor discovering stories that might be forgotten by history and breathing life into them with my imagination. My most recent effort, The Confessor, helped me place as a finalist in the Stage 32 Feature Fellowship; I'm grateful to Stage 32 for their kind support. Reach out if you would be interested in a script exchange. I'm interested in giving and receiving feedback from fellow scribes. Cheers, and gave a great week ahead, all!

Congratulations on being a finalist in the Stage 32 Feature Fellowship, Melissa Birks! :D What's your favorite historical fiction movie?

Melissa Birks

Great question, Maurice! Thanks for asking. A little dated, but I'm a huge fan of Schindler's List.

Molly Peck

Congratulations Melissa, really excited to see where it takes you!

Maurice Vaughan

"Schindler's List" is a great choice, Melissa Birks! My favorite historical fiction movie is either "Gladiator" or "Braveheart."
