I’ve had representation in the past, but am currently without representation, and am not a WGA member. I’ve attended seminars and classes by most of the screenplay gurus including Field, Segar, Freeman, among others; and attended workshops, classes, and lectures sponsored by The American Film Institute; and the USC Cinema-Television Alumni Association extension program. I was optioned once by a major television producer.  Among the most recent awards for writing are:   Austin Comedy Short Film Festival, Fall 2018 - 3rd Place finalist Best Dark Comedy Short Screenplay:  Austin Comedy Short Film Festival, Spring 2019 - 3rd place  Best Dark Comedy Feature Screenplay.  Finalist Short Screenplay:  2019 Filmmatic Comedy Screenplay Awards; Season 4
