I stumbled on this board (and many others) while looking for a community to join that will open up learning possibilities. I've been writing screenplays for years and know a lot about that particularly community, but I recently adapted one into a novel and would like to learn more about the world of traditional publishing. Looking forward to lurking on the boards and learning from everyone.

Nice to meet you, Shugar. (May I call you Shugar?) I used to be a regular at a screenwriting board that has since closed its doors; much of what I learned there applied to the plays I was trying to write.

Thanks for the welcomes! Maryn, it's funny you responded to this thread because earlier today I was browsing the forums looking for consensus around prologues and actually copied and pasted some of your advice into a Google Doc for future use. Already being here has paid dividends!
