Double Selection!!!

Double selection! My prose action/adventure short story "Retrieval" and horror sci-fi short screenplay "Generation Killer" made it to the Quarterfinals of the 2026 Outstanding Screenplays Short Competition.

Auto Bookify

Double quarterfinals is impressive, congrats! Pulling off both prose and screenplay in the same competition says a lot about range. "Generation Killer" is a great title too

curious what pushed you toward horror sci-fi for that one. Good luck through the next rounds.

The posting title could seem a good title for book or a movie, unfortunately it's not. Like me, hundreds in here take their chances, and increase their efforts, posting their projects and dreams hopping someone with the right position and tools will make those dreams come true. Being consistent, res...

oh man, I get it Frank. Sometimes it sucks and it feels like there's no more hope. I've had panic attacks when doors closed because I was so afraid another one wouldn't open. Maybe that's sharing too much. Keep it up, you will find your way. You love this work for a reason, don't let that go.
