Thank you so much for the WIFV Screenwriters First Five Pages event last night. It was so valuable to me, hearing all the readings and all the feedback, and I'm so grateful for the chance to have my first five pages read and commented upon. I look forward to more such events, and the learning and community that builds from them. - Ellen Lent

WIFV is by far the most valuable organisation in which I have had the honour of membership. This is the only group of people around who go so very far beyond simply meeting periodically and voicing support. Each person completely supports each other, creatively, spiritually, materially… had I been fortunate enough to have had WIFV in my life to begin with, I’d have followed my dreams from day one. They give me confidence, encouragement, strength, and hope for the future of the arts.
