WOTS 2008 QUARTERFINALISTS


Congratulations to our Quarterfinalists! With over thirteen hundred scripts to go through, our readers had a lot of tough choices to make in narrowing down to the top 10%, and I'm pleased to say competition was fierce. Our next round is so full of drama, romance, adventure, and tragedy that we could keep a troupe of actors busy for a decade!

We hope to announce the Semifinalists (Top 50) on October 3rd and also start sending out the feedback forms on that same date.

If your script did not advance this time around, don't despair - keep in mind that we had to pass on 90% of our entries. In a couple of weeks, you'll receive your scores and feedback, which will give you a better idea of what our readers liked about your work, and where they thought you could use some help with your next rewrite. As always, remember that writing is a craft, and you'll only improve with time. Best of luck!

Portia Jefferson,
Writers on the Storm Contest Coordinator

My script "Dead line" was listed as a quarterfinalist in an earlier post, but not in this one. I trust that's an oversight.

Wow!

I sent Jim Cirile an e-mail about the abovementioned omission. He responded in 2 minutes and 4 seconds (I'm not kidding), informing me he would have the list corrected.

Professional.

Now ... if Jim could teach me how to write that fast.

I am trying to contact Robert Rivenbark, if he is the same Rivenbark, who once lived on Jekyll Island and wrote a drama for McIntosh County in 1983. Would appreciate any knowledge of where I might reach him.

Thanks,
