Guest Editor's LETTER

Dear Sister and Mister Listers!

The board is alive and active with tales and advice and experiences which can mean only one thing: our work is getting out there. And once it’s there, it’s making an impact.
This issue, we’ve got articles discussing coming up with a play on—literally—a moment’s notice; one is a tale of turning into a teacher . . .overnight; then we’ve got a fascinating tale of a fringe festival experience.

In each issue we want to hear about your experiences getting productions done, but I’ve also noticed huge amounts of information on the list alone: how to tell a bad agent from a good one; how to deal with rejection; how to deal with writer’s block; and, a topic which suddenly has all of our attention, the WGA strike. Just a quick scroll down from these notes can show you that some of the messages are practically articles themselves!
So, fellow listers, we have to be there for each other, in good times and bad, and that means putting it down with your keyboards and sending it off to us. When one of us learns a lesson—about a theatre, a competition, a way of dealing with tricks and hazards of the trade, it’s up to her to pass it on.

Keep up with the good work, and keep your words out there!!
