Scriptchat TOPIC: Expos, Contests, and Fellowships... oh my!
There’s always a
debate if these events/contests are worth it to our overall careers or just a
waste of our money. Read on and see what other writers have experienced first
hand and what the various thoughts are to make your own conclusion. Enjoy!
