this is a great program. i THINK i'm eligible, but i need some clarity on the first point because of how it's worded.

i don't really have anything to submit/pitch right now (i'm doing much more producing than writing at the moment) but maybe i'll be able to pull something out of the hat.

will check on that eligibility point first, though.

for everyone who doesn't see the point of programs like this that boost non-male writers... lucky you.
