Finding screenwriters

Accidentally I found myself at a performance writers event in Edinburgh last night. I met up with a friend with half an eye for developing screenplays for him to direct. He had already spoken to one of the writers who wrote in a very action orientated non interior style about getting him to adapt it into a short screenplay script.

It really is worthwhile attending writers events locally to where you live to see if there is any untapped writing talent who may not have thought of writing for the screen and you are trying to find material. I found out about this event by word of mouth but worth looking out on the web, local libraries, arts venues, theatres to see if there is a writers group holding an event. It could be dire or it could be untold treasure.
