Introduce Yourself : WGA Screenwriter Says Hello by Michael Dugan

Michael Dugan

WGA Screenwriter Says Hello

My name is Michael Dugan. I wrote and sold many screenplays to studios, networks, and independent producers in the 1990's. I also produced one feature comedy that ran on HBO and is now streaming. Then I transitioned into the Television Commercial Industry as a writer, director, and producer. I am now actively back fin the entertainment industry as a screenwriter with several comedies and a horror movie. I am looking for tips on getting representation, selling my scripts, and fully getting back in to the film industry.

You wrote for “General Hospital” and "Days of Our Lives," Michael Dugan. My aunts watched those shows when I was a kid. They made us take naps while the Stories (Soap Operas) were on. We hated it. Haha

My biggest tip is to network/be active in the Lounges (www.stage32.com/lounge). Here are great blogs about networking I suggest checking out (www.stage32.com/blog/tags/networking-41). Some of the blogs have tips on getting a rep, selling scripts, and making connections in the industry.

Hey Michael Dugan! Very cool that you can bounce between comedy and horror. I have always found those genres to be similar in many ways, you know?
