So you've written a screenplay.
Hi all. Our newest member, Antoinette, asks what to do now that she's finished her first draft of her first screenplay. What advice do you have for her?

Antoinette,
First of congrats on completing your first screenplay. If this is the first draft my suggestion is to put it away for a month. Work on something else (the logline and synopsis of the script or another script) and then come back to it and proofread and edit it. Then have someone who is a writer or industry contact to proof your script for grammar and story. After you work on a few more re-writes then work on your query letter to submit to agents/producers. The routine gets easier with each screenplay. Once you are done editing you just have to get the attention of others. If you need a list of books or resources to help on your journey let me know.
Cheers,
Nisa -

Yes!
Also, it's good to know whether your desire is to use the script as a writing sample to get other work with studios or networks OR whether you want to see it produced. Spec script=agents. Indie feature=producers.

Summary through dialogue rather than narrative -- way more interesting and lively! Love the photo. We are being drowned out here in Ireland and that beach looks so tempting! Edith x"
