    Thoughts on Writing and Publishing?

    Self-publish your scripts on New Play Exchange. It's like a database where theaters and literary managers discover new work. You upload your script, tag it with themes (like "Texas" or "family drama"), and people find you. It's not "traditional publishing" but it's how a lot of contemporary...

My professor keeps marking my papers down for "grammatical issues" and "awkward phrasing." I study so hard but...
