Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
CREATIVE SCREENWRITING is the best magazine out there for people who are looking for smart articles written by people who can give solid, practical advice for both people who want to break into the business and those who work in it every day. Writers like regular Daniel Argent make the magazine so worthwhile a read each month, and the editorial team has done a great job of pretty much blowing past any other monthly screenwriting magazine on the market.
The best thing I ever did for myself as a writer was move to Los Angeles, where I could meet other writers and start to build up a team of people I respect who I can turn to for advice and feedback. Several of my jobs put me in contact with these people, and I’ve been very fortunate in terms of who has taken an active interest over the years. The best thing I can tell anyone to do if they want to become a professional writer is to attend events where they have a chance to deal with real professionals and learn from the right people.
This sounds like one of those events:
What do Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile), Harlan Ellison, David Goyer (Blade, Dark City), Richard Matheson (The Twilight Zone, Duel), Scott Rosenberg (Spider Man, Armageddon), Bruce Joel Rubin (Ghost, Jacob's Ladder), and David O. Russell (Three Kings, Flirting With Disaster) have in common?
They're all going to be at the 2002 Screenwriting Expo on November 16th and 17th.
Come out and learn from these master storytellers and screenplay craftsmen as they discuss their writing processes, reveal truths about the industry, and revisit their own work. Some will speak in a relaxed Q&A format while others will give prepared presentations, but either way you won't want to miss the chance to soak up the knowledge of these battle-tested professionals.
For just $49.95 you can gain access to these prestigious guests as well as hundreds of seminars, an Expo pitch fest, a screenwriting tournament, and much more.
Register before Nov. 1st and receive a FREE one-year subscription to Creative Screenwriting, the best darn screenwriting publication around.

The Screenwriting Expo will be held at the LA Convention Center, West Hall, Nov. 16th and 17th.
If you go check out the actual list of events, it’s pretty remarkable. I’d advise anyone in the area who’s even remotely interested to take advantage. Opportunities like this can be amazing things, and you never know who you’ll meet or connect with, or what well-timed bit of advice might change the course of your career.
"Moriarty" out.
