Hi Mickey - I have an initiative I run called The Grey List - our goal is to push back against ageism in the entertainment industry and show that creativity has no expiration date by spotlighting amazing work (pilots and features) from screenwriters over the age of 40.

We feature writers of all levels (last year we ranged from newcomers to a Netflix showrunner) and I was hoping you might be interested in being featured on our next list (coming at the end of February). Maybe you have a script you love which, for whatever reason, has never gotten made?

The Grey List could be a good avenue to show it a little love :)

Happy to share more information if you're open to it!

Thanks for this post, Mickey - it came at a great time for me! Absolutely love “The purpose of getting feedback is not to shame your past self. It’s to educate your future self.”

Nice rundown on the "feed-forward" concept (versus feed-back). Congrats on continuing to march toward your goals.
