join the r/screenwritingclubs beta
Hey folks. We're doing A Thing: r/screenwritingclubs
Right now screenwriting clubs and groups are not that easy to find or advertise. The main reason for that is there's not a lot of systemization we can do here without adding a lot of extra bulk into a pretty tight framework. Reddit is still not ideal for creating a systematized listing, but we can do things like create keyword searches so that people can look for things like genre, format type, etc. We'll consult more on this with other mods who've done more of this optimization.
Right now, this is a beta, because like all things, it needs some testing. But, the requirements to join are pretty low: have an account that's at least ten days old (or you won't be able to post), and no major conduct strikes here -- ie: if we've had to ban you for being a jerk to another user.
It's currently invite only, but anyone who fits these requirements can join.
Eventually we'll start using post-guidance tools and automod to encourage people posting here about starting, finding or promoting a club to go over to r/screenwritingclubs.
We will also be setting up supports for more in-person meets and events in local areas, because we know one of The Biggest Challenges is finding screenwriters in your area without resorting to the extremely terrible wilds of facebook and meetup. Hopefully we can set up ways to help folks get more person-to-person connections.
If you are interested: head over to r/screenwritingclubs and hit the Request to Post. It'll take a little time, but we will get around to approving users.
I am especially encouraging people who already have active clubs, groups, discords etc to apply. The more active clubs we can get going on here, the more we can prove the concept. Hopefully it'll be a helpful support to this community.
