Special thanks to the Pacific Northwest Writers Association for including me in their Breaking into Screenwriting Panel Friday! I greatly enjoyed hearing from my fellow panel members, Pat White, Diane Mettler, Bill Schreiber and Royce Buckingham. While they focused on their success in novel and screenwriting, I focused on business do’s and don’ts for aspiring (and established) writers – life rights, story adaptation rights, pitching and marketing your materials, and submission releases.
