Thanks all! Excited to explore more here

Welcome aboard @ImSorryDave :) Love reading different types of thrillers (Silence of the Lambs is awesome), but tried and can't write one. Hats off to you!

Hello all, I'm Jeremiah, a writer based in Los Angeles. I'm primarily a horror screenwriter, but love prose as well and am looking to grow in that area. I just finished a draft of my second novel, an action thriller, and am starting to plan my...

People buy reviews, followers, placements in contests, in film festivals, oscars, publication etc. It's well known. Here is my true story--- Last year my script was selected as semi-finalist for the Stowe Story Labs. The Director contacted me...
