Howdy. I'm just wondering if anyone can give a fledgling writer a few tips. I have many scripts for comedy skits, but i also have a ten minute play that I'm pretty happy with. It's a "meninist" play, about a modern man's emancipation from a life he felt he had no control or respect in. I have Asperger's Syndrome,(which means I write ALOT....it IS compulsive)but sometimes renders me a bit derrrr when it comes to the 'unwritten social rules',or the politics of being accepted into a group/clique, etc.Which.....grrr...there seem to be a bit of in the arty world. So...what ARE the rules? What do I do with my work? Should I just send it out willy-nilly, or should I be protective? Thanks in advance to anyone who is reading and wants to respond. :-) Tad

No worries - I wish you all

No worries - I wish you all the best! You can advertise yourself here; plenty of others do. But I'm not sure how much of a response you will get. Your best bet is to find the local groups I mentioned above, and chat to people face-to-face. ... There is also a site (I forget what one now, but I know it will be in the links list I provided, somewhere in the 'job hunting:tas' section) which posts regular info for playwrights. I think it's the Ozscript link. They also have other information and you can submit your plays there too.
