Inviting Oscar to Dinner with Indigo Moor 

Poets and Authors Transitioning to Screen

Whether in poetry or prose, the desire to see our work on screen is irresistible. Breaking onto this platform takes more than desire. Similar to your primary genre, scripts have their own tools and elements that must be observed to make your work palatable to directors, actors, and producers. With Indigo Moor, an award-winning poet & author.
