Hi, James Owen. Congratulations on the 'strong consider' and 'recommend' reviews! Have you thought about pitching to managers through Stage 32’s Pitch Sessions (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/pitch-sessions)? The main purpose of the Pitch Sessions is to get feedback to improve your pitch, but sometimes the managers, executives, etc. request scripts, sign writers, etc. (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/success-stories).

Hi James Owen ! great to e-meet you & a Happy (belated) Birthday to the Marines!!
I am always in awe and admiration of those who are willing to put such costly experiences in their lives in the service of stories we all get to share in. Especially in teh period in which you served. An awesome way to perhaps continue serving?
also love your website quote:
'The Difference Between Fiction & Reality?
Fiction Has to Make Sense.' - Tom Clancy
much luck to you in your projects (love the log lines for both projects, btw) and thank you for all you've done. cheers
PS: have you pitched any Lit managers here on Stage32 yet?

Hi James Owen ! Firstly, thank you for the service you performed. I'm a military Mom - my youngest son is an Army combat vet. So I appreciate you.
It's wonderful to meet you! If you need help finding the right people to send your work to, you can email success@stage32.com - Pat is great about helping find people reading in your lane that are accepting pitches.
And congratulations on your good reviews!

Things are good. Just stuck trying to find a manager to help take my career to the next level. I have two completed scripts that I have submitted to multiple competitions. Both have received 'recommend' ratings from multiple industry readers. I have sent out some query letters, but nothing. Frustrating to say the least.
Congratulations on getting recommends, James Owen. Stage 32 has free in-person Meetups that are great for networking (www.stage32.com/meetups). You might meet managers, producers, directors, executives, etc. If you don't see a Meetup in your area, keep an eye on that page for new Meetups. And you're welcome to start your own Meetup.
