[stylist] screen play venues

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

That makes sense.  So it seems that most books aren't written in 
play form unless there is a stage production.
I once read a book where the dialogue was written in play form 
but the rest of it was normal.  So instead of having something 
like:
Dad said, "I don't like your attitude."
It was
Dad: I don't like your attitude.
I found this a really creative way to do dialogue, but since this 
is the only real book I have read that is like this, it doesn't 
seem to be a normal trend.

Vejas,

No, a screenplay is specific to the screen, film or television.  
A play in
book form is generally a stage-play published in novel form so it 
can be
read by the general public.  Although, I suppose a theatre school 
or class
specific to film and TV making may have a screenplay in book 
form.  But as a
rule, screenplay refers to scripts written for film/TV.

Hi Sem,
This is cool.
Is the term "screen-play" used specifically for plays that are 
shown live?
Some books are in play form, so would they be considered 
screen-plays also?

Hi everyone.  Fore any interested in exploring the possibility of 
taking
your  writing to movies or T.V, here are some interesting links.  
I got
these from another writer friend who does far more networking 
than I do when
I asked her a question so thought to pass on the resource.  Sem 
My friend
says Stage 32 ( https://www.stage32.com/welcome/13/ ) is a great 
place for
making connections because you can't do that many places.  There 
is also the
International Screenwriters Association ( 
http://www.networkisa.org/ ).  But
really, unless you're ready to pay to pitch ideas to places or 
you have an
agent to sell your scripts for you, you have to submit and query 
the old
fashioned way.  Contests can get your foot in the door but only 
the right
contests: AFF, Fresh Voices, Final Draft Big Break.  She's had 
luck with
contests.


I hope that helps!
