I just realized it’s been two months since my last blog post. Whoopsie! I’ve had my ups and downs, some exciting firsts, and competition/fellowship results, both good and bad. In addition to currently sitting in Italy as I write this, a recent highlight is that both Curio and No Rest for the Wicked were namedContinue reading “Lots Happening in the Past Couple of Months…”

No Rest for the Wicked is a Semifinalist in the InRoads Fellowship!
Huzzah! My first pilot got itself another placement, Semifinalist in the InRoads Fellowship by Filmmatic. Though I’ve been submitting this one since I started this screenwriting journey in 2020, I’ve continued to tweak it. This included a revision at the end of 2021 where I trimmed out 5 pages and gave it a new ending.Continue reading “No Rest for the Wicked is a Semifinalist in the InRoads Fellowship!”
No Rest for the Wicked is a Quarterfinalist in TSL’s Free Screenplay Competition!
My, it’s been a great week for my female-led pilots. First Curio went 4/4 on placing in competitions on Wednesday, and now my first pilot is also advancing in another competition. Because this TSL competition is free, they had nearly 10,000 submissions, and the quarterfinalist cut is about 1000 scripts, so I’m roughly in theContinue reading “No Rest for the Wicked is a Quarterfinalist in TSL’s Free Screenplay Competition!”
Curio is a Quarterfinalist in the Emerging Screenwriters Genre Competition!
As we head into the second quarter of 2022, I’m happy to announce that my supernatural procedural Curio is a quarterfinalist again. This is its third time competing and its third placement, so I must be doing something right 😉 This is also my third pilot, but the first one that started its life asContinue reading “Curio is a Quarterfinalist in the Emerging Screenwriters Genre Competition!”
Curio is a Semifinalist in the Screencraft Pilot Competition!
Huzzah! My pilot about a clandestine order of supernatural artifact hunters post-WWII has reached two new milestones. This is its first semifinalist placement (you can see a full list of semifinalists here), and the bump to my Coverfly score means that I now have two scripts on the Redlist for 1-hour adventure scripts! The factContinue reading “Curio is a Semifinalist in the Screencraft Pilot Competition!”
Oh Snap! I’m a DOUBLE Quarterfinalist in the 2022 Screencraft TV Pilot Competition
I’m thrilled to announce that I got word last night that BOTH Curio and Riftmaker advanced in the competition. (You can find out more about them on my TV projects page) I admit I was a little worried about submitting twice to the same competition because I wondered if they would just pick one evenContinue reading “Oh Snap! I’m a DOUBLE Quarterfinalist in the 2022 Screencraft TV Pilot Competition”
Curio is a Quarterfinalist!
This is the first time this script has competed, and I’m thrilled to announce it has advanced to the quarterfinals of the WeScreenplay TV competition! This means all four of the scripts I’ve written so far have received at least a quarterfinals placement or better. [Cue happy dance] I’ll find out about the semifinals inContinue reading “Curio is a Quarterfinalist!”
Riftmaker is a Quarterfinalist!
Woot! I haven’t had any good news to share like this since March, so feeling grateful, happy, and relieved to get this recognition for Riftmaker. This is my second pilot and the first time it’s competed. For this competition, ScreenCraft received around 2000 submissions, so the quarterfinalists are the top 500-ish. I did also enterContinue reading “Riftmaker is a Quarterfinalist!”
I’m a Quarterfinalist for the 2021 ScreenCraft Screenwriting Fellowship
After No Rest for the Wicked did so well in the 2021 ScreenCraft Pilot Competition, I decided to submit it to a few other contests as well. Most of them will have their first round results posted in June/July, but this big, juicy fellowship just announced the quarterfinalist list… and I’m on it! You canContinue reading “I’m a Quarterfinalist for the 2021 ScreenCraft Screenwriting Fellowship”
