well, I mentioned the book and now I’m getting ads for it so I checked one out it’s pretty awful but it’s a huge market for new writers. I was thinking it would be interesting to see if I could actually write in this format as an exercise in writing with 0 fluff…(Please yell at me ) But: The global vertical‑drama market was valued at about USD 4.1–4.7 billion in 2024–2025 and is projected to grow to roughly USD 8.4 billion by the early 2030s, implying a high‑single‑digit to low‑double‑digit compound annual growth rate. Here is just one: https://my-drama.com/ PS: don’t buy that book. It’s full of errors, probably why she was giving it away at the conference, but it’s still an interesting read.

Great call. Really glad to have new faces checking out what we do here on a weekly basis. @Angelika Alexanderson Alexanderson Alexanderson, @Morgan Peline and @Jules Chibututu, we're glad to have you! Chad came with some great new pages for his dark horror comedy thriller ever-evolving "if Taxi Driver were actually possessed instead of just crazy" script. Really fun stuff here and a pleasure to watch it evolve! Then this was followed by a Q&A session with our newcomers, layered by plentiful pontification on part of yours truly re the creative process. Enjoy! D
