I know it's a small victory, but my short screenplay Swing Ride was a semi-finalist for the LA International Screenplay Awards. I'm taking the win.

Finding a manager

I have feature length screenplays in multiple genres: comedy, horror, action, crime. When querying managers should I shop one specific screenplay or lead with one but mention the others? Also, if a manager agrees to take on one of my screenplays, what is the proper etiquette for the others? Do I sti...

It's Sunday afternoon, and it's tea o’clock!

What actors would you like to see in your film?

I am from the generation of Jodie Foster, Meryl Streep, Sandra Bullock, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, and Leonardo Di Caprio, but for my screenplay, I dream with actors from the new generation, such as Jodie Come...

Lately, I've gotten lots of feedback, and it's causing stress. If you'd like to know some of what goes on in a writer's mind, here's my latest blog post. It's about my screenplay but applies to all authors no matter what they write. https://wayneturmel.com/the-stress-of-feedback/...

How's it going everyone!

My name is Dartel and I'm an actor/writer based in Brooklyn, NY. Have always been a writer but recently have been inspired to start updating some old scripts and even start writing some new ones. Love writing comedy and how you can bring the seriousness of the real world & in...

Man, that sounds awesome, Dartel McRae. Sounds like I need to visit soon.

That sounds really awesome, Dartel McRae Welcome to the Stage32 family!

Just introducing myself...

HI all. I"m a former standup who has written 15 books but am returning to something I did in the early 90s, writing spec scripts. Currently, i'm working on the screenplay of the first novel in my Johnny Lycan: Werewolf PI series. Looking to get smarter and meet fellow ink-stained wretches.

Michael Elliott

My transition into a full-time comic resulted from a typical mid-life crisis. Instead of abandoning everything for a younger woman, I did it for the quiet of life on the road.

Wayne Turmel

Michael, my midlife crisis resulted in the first of my 6 novels. Writing The Count of the Sahara was way cheaper than a corvette or a cocktail waitress and the resulting divorce.

“Man-Splaning” Script readers

A Stage32 script reader told me that my pilot script about pharmacists was “unrealistic” and “over exaggerated”. And tried to tell me how the pharmacy industry worked lol. Mind you, I’ve been a pharmacist for 8 years and I have 16 years of pharmacy experience lol. The things script writers go throug...

Cameron Tendaji

I’m not taking it personal. I just thought it was funny lol. There weren’t any comments about the story telling they just went into a long diatribe about the pharmacy industry and explained to me the updated technology

Cameron Tendaji

M LaVoie then technically “over exaggerated” and “unrealistic” shouldn’t be an issue then I would think lol

Kiril Maksimoski

M LaVoie is a spot on. I mean why would I ever pay to see a white coat guy prescript drugs to old ladies and chronically ill? Now imagine same guy having, say vampires or werewolves for customers...ta...

Wayne Turmel

Really, really rookie question. I have a low-budget horror script that I think has no fat on the bones but only comes in at 75 pages. I"m loathe (good writer word) to pad the scenes and slow the the action. How sacred is that 90-page mark?

Wayne Turmel

Thanks,Maurice. I'll come off the ledge until I get more feedback on the quality of the darned thing :-)

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Wayne Turmel. Did you get feedback through Stage 32's Script Services yet?

Wayne Turmel

Not yet. It's in the plan
