the business and craft of writing
Today I’m sitting by the phone waiting to hear if I’ve got my second short film commission. While I’m doing that, I’ve just been reading through an excellent series of articles by Danny Stack on how to become a professional screenwriter. They’re so good, in fact, that I thought I’d share them with you:
If I do get that commission, I might just try and put step 5 into practice. Wish me luck!

All the best for the commission, Fiona. Hope you get good news.
Best of luck Fiona!
Thanks guys. Unfortunately I didn’t get it. Got down to the top 5 of 350 applicants, but didn’t make the final three that were commissioned. Oh well, onwards and upwards in the New Year. I’ve got a few projects on the go and I’m ever hopeful (or maybe just deluded) – time will tell.
