Do you have a screenplay, a treatments, or an outline you believe would make for a great movie?
The Society of Southwestern Authors will be holding their conference here in Tucson from September 27 through the 28th.
With 40 workshops about the craft and the business of writing, top keynote speakers to inspire you, and agents, editors, and publishers soliciting manuscripts, you won't find a friendlier or more well-rounded writing conference anywhere.
You can register for one-on-one meetings with members of the soliciting staff to pitch your fiction or nonfiction manuscript or your movie or play script.
Among the people you can arrange a private meeting with are:
Victoria Lucas

She helped develop and produce scripts as diverse as the religious thriller The Body, starring Antonio Banderas, the mystery The I Inside, starring Ryan Phillippe, The Black Dahlia, directed by Brian de Palma, and The Contractor, starring Wesley Snipes.
