Could this be the next block buster, perhaps a good radio play, or a story for the bin, never bin it, keep it, revise it and send it again and again and again.

Hello My Name is Barry I have been writing short stories and sending them out to magazines and have had two of them printed in Bella (Womens mag) in the last year. I have completed a few courses and have just finished Screen and Script writing at my local University 'Alone with Jack' was my course project and is ten pages long. (As requested by tutor). I have lots of stories to make into scripts for radio and stage plays. some of my stories would be great for TV or film. I write in my spare time and would love to do it full time, since 1999 i have written more than 50 short stories but have not sent them all out until now. Now i am ready to show most of my work to those who have an eye for a good story. If you think this maybe of interest to you no matter where you are in the world then please get in touch and we can see if we can work something out. If you are a writer who is looking for someone to work with again please get in touch as there maybe something we can do. I am not expecting to be the next JK (Harry Potter, books/films) but i do think that there is a market for my work. Looking for an unknown well congrats I am here, just e mail me and we can both be Billionairs. ok so i have a good sence of humour! Alone With Jack. A Radio Play by Barry Martin
