I agree. Screenwriting is in a precarious state, and I know of several successful screenwriters who are now writing novels. But, wow to you! To get placed on the Nicholl twice is impressive. This script of mine is actually an adaptation of my...

Congratulations, firstly on completing a screenplay of your book (no mean feat!), and secondly on garnering such a positive review! :clinking-glasses:

Hi, Sarit. Thank you. Are you a screenwriter too? Yes, I was aware of the changes. Some are ceasing to exist, others are merging, and even Nicholls has changed its application process. Writers now have to submit through a 3rd party vetting...

Only to exclusive readers... I dont know if it would be of any use to you. My model was Antigone. But I dont tell agents that.:rolleyes: These are exactly the themes I was writing about though. You're welcome to read it. I am still - and always...
