Calling all writers (novel, screen, script)!

Hi everyone


I love to write and have some practical experience but have never studied it properly at school. I'm looking to meet people with similar interests in writing (whether you want to/have written a novel or a script or screenplay). Maybe we could bounce ideas off each other or learn from each other, over coffee once a week or something?


Let me know if you're interested!

hi natasha,


i've written a screen play ( the psionic code ) and have been trying to get it produced, but the industry is "locked" to outsiders !! no one wants to read it etc. it's a tough life.


however, i would be happy to share it with you and talk about the whys and wherefores of screenwriting.


cheers,

Hi Roger and Leon, thanks for replying. It's great to hear people are interested!


I'm very much a beginner and my main experience is ghostwriting so I definitely am in more of a position to learn than to contribute advice. Hopefully, with more people, everyone can benefit!


The next two weekends are not good for me but perhaps we can keep in touch for now and plan a get-together in October. Feel free to send me a private message so I can share my personal email.

I've published one nonfiction book (textbook) through official means and have a fair bit of experience with self publishing and creative commons licensing. I've written some fiction but nothing with the intent to share. I also enjoy editing and proofreading for other authors, although I'm too busy to volunteer any time right now.


There are also two glocals groups you might be interested in.

Opportunity to take part in a feature film for your Knowledge about the Alps

Today 13:31

 


I am a screenwriter/filmmaker and two of my scripts have been optioned in Hollywood. One of my collaborations made the black list in 2008 and is being made into a major Hollywood release in 2012. I have recently moved near Geneve, to work on my latest project which is a full length feature based in the Alps and looking for cast and anyone who is interested in filmmaking/screenwriting in this part of the world to discuss ideas and knowledge about the region and anything else to help me finish writing the screenplay shooting draft. Feel free to message me for further details.






Also I am not sure if this is the best place for this but I would need actors/actresses which as of now I am holding auditions in London but ideally be wanting someone local. So anyone wanting to work in a film and willing to audition please get back. PS:Extremely powerful female lead role.
