I have hesitated starting this group with the severe privacy towards my writing and the fear someone else might think it's horrible. I've reached a place in my work where I might need some outside input. I think a place aspiring screenwriters can get together in a safe haven free from negativity can be helpful.

This group has grown beyond my capacity to manage, so we are currently closed to new members.  In order to re-open the group, I need 2 people to join the leadership team.  If you're interested in becoming an assistant organizer, please contact me directly.

There are already plenty of writers' groups, but most of them are geared toward hobbyists rather than toward writers who think big (I know because I used to belong to three of them). If you're a self-published author having difficulty selling or promoting your work, or you're a writer who's frustrated by organizers who've told you what you are and aren't allowed to write, or you'd like to write and self-publish but are intimidated by the process, SPACE is for you. My name is Martin, and I've bee …
