Stage 32 is heads and shoulders above any other screenwriting platform in the world. It's founder, Richard "RB" Botto, is a screenwriter himself, so truly cares about writers. Nowhere else do writers get Skype meeting with top industry executives and pros. For $35, you can pick and pitch a professional open to your genre. There's also a ton of free educational material, and its the best social networking platform for creatives that exists today. Are there scammers on S32. Yeah, for there are over a million members and the S32 staff is made up of only 25 employees (the staff is trying it's best to catch up with their astounding growth in membership), so each writer must do due diligence when communicating with others on the site; for example, Katherine Bigelow sent me a Network Request, like a FB Friend Request, the other day. Did I believe the great Katherine Bigelow was really sending me a Network Request? No, I'm not stupid, so I reported the scammer to the S32 staff, and they immediately removed the account. Will this scammer try again? Of course, he or she will. Is that S32's fault? No! I pitched Tatianna Kelly last month on Skype, which was a thrill, for she is one of my favorite producers and one of the nicest people. S32 creatives are wonderful, and we are so supporting of each other, because S32 maintains a positive atmosphere. Richard "RB" Botto in a tremendous leader that has created a platform that has given creatives from all over the world access to industry pros. Long live S32. By the way, membership is free.

The Best Platform for Screenwriters

I don't understand these negative reviews. It's a bunch of sour grapes. My screenplay was just moved forward in an Open Writing Assignment on S32 and will be given to producers after the strike; in addition, I pitched to a legit manager last week that requested my screenplay. The same screenplay just made the quarterfinals in the Creative Screenwriting Feature Screenplay Competition. Don't blame S32 for your lack of ability. Shut-up, stop complaining, and write. That's how you'll get better. There is no other screenwriting platform that allows that allows screenwriters such access to industry pros. If you have a well written screenplay,bring it to S32 and you'll not regret doing so.
