Reay Jespersen: Screenwriter, author and actor in Toronto, Canada.

Anytime I work doing freelance gigs I'm always asked "can i get your card" and I always have to lie and say "oh i forgot them today... but let me write down my info". So my question is where do you get business cards, online or locally? I've started designing something but i'm wondering where you typically have them made. Also are business cards still viable self promotion? Thanks S32 members!

Evening, all --

Been here a few years and am now being told I never did introduce myself. Not totally sure that's right, but just to cover the bases:

I'm an award-winning, published short story writer who dabbles in pretty much every other kind of writing going. I've gotten some industry attention for one of my screenplays but am still hunting that elusive first completed production and sale.

Currently I'm working on the second draft of an 80,000 word short story collection I recently finished, and will be brushing up my pitching skills to present some written pitches to reps in the Happy Writers section.

I'm happy to make connections and collaborate.

All the best.

Sorry for being away from the site for such a stretch, folks. A return was long overdue. Mass processing of connection requests... ENGAGE!

Hi, Andrea. Thanks for the invite to connect. The apparently requisite intro: I've got half a dozen screenplays done -- got some active industry interest in one but so far nothing sold -- and a handful TV show concepts half-pieced together. I'm seeking opportunities to make some connections to get some projects done; happy to collaborate on other people's work as well. Hope to talk soon.

Been a while since I've been around, but certainly been keeping busy. My current front burner projects are a collection of short and micro stories, and a novel I've finally been able to outline to hopefully tackle in its full form. Back burner projects are a number of tabletop games that are in various states of work, from concept to working on the artwork for the hard copy beta versions.
