J.G Sarantinos's Lounge Discussions

Asking others for feedback is NOT considered disrespectfully dumping your problems on another writer. Don't ask individuals (unless you know them well) but throw the question out to groups.

There are various sites where you can post your work for free feedback. Zoetrope works well but you have to give before you can get, which is only fair. Talentville is another but I really dislike the way they discriminate against the non-paying user. S32 is not designed for this, you can ask but it's a crapshoot as to what you get back. There are plenty of others out there but the feedback is going to be pretty unreliable.

The best thing to do is to network and join as many groups as you can and get as much feedback as you can, particularly with your early work, and pay attention to the common trend in the feedback. You can pay for feedback but I consider it a waste of money when you're a novice.

Awesome, thanks buddy

pro writer do it all the time. Just ask if they can/wan't to do it and offer the same in return. Also tell them what you want feedback on e.g does the story make sense? is the dialogue natural? etc.

Ok cool, I'll check it out. Thanks buddy.

I'm getting links to writing software when googling pro writer, is that what you mean?

Hey J.G, this is Beth from the Stage 32 team. I just wanted to let you know I moved your post from Screenwriting to Your Stage, as it fits much better there. That's where members share personal web sites or blogs. Let me know if you have any questions, and all the best to you!

Please put it back where it was because it generates more discussion in the Screenwriting Lounge.

Hi J. Gideon. :) Posting personal web sites, blogs or articles is considered self-promotion, even if not intended, therefore they are placed or moved to Your Stage—see description at the top. It's nothing personal, just the way the site is organized. If you'd like to start a topic discussion in one of the craft and business forums, perhaps just post a general question about the subject you would like to discuss. Best to you!
