In light of the growing unemployment numbers, recognizing that among these numbers are screenwriters, and in larger numbers, horror fans who are looking for an opportunity to express themselves creatively and receive recognition for the screenplays they may write, we at the Thomas M.

All a screenwriter needs do is include the words Waiver Request (name of the blog), and we will make that happen.
