Hello, my name is Marina and I found you in a post that appeared on my twitter. I am writing to you to ask a advice. I want to make writing my profession, but I'm still working on it hehe I just published a book in Italy (I'm Brazilian, but currently living in Italy, long story) anyway, since the beginning of the year I'm very interesting in screenwriting. I did an online course that helped me to understand the structure of it, then I made another one more focused on TV and I'm reading several books. But now I'm not sure what is the best for me to enter in the market. If it is to make a course of longer duration, with teachers from the area, or if it is to write and write and send for those who might want to do it hehe. What do you advice me? The school I'm thinking about doing it is called Griffith, but I do not think you should know it because stays here in Italy, anyway, it is not cheap, so I want to be sure that it will worthwhile.

I will be very thankful if you could give me some advice.

Thank You
Marina

@Marina: Do you mind if I take up your question in a separate blog post? I do this recurring feature called Reader Questions and I think your concerns might be of interest to many of the blog's readers, especially internationally based writers.
