Hi Writers,
Hot off the presses: our August issue featuring cover girl Diablo Cody. Our fab Script Notes blogger Chad Gervich interviewed Cody a week before she won the Oscar for Juno.

If you're a subscriber, this issue—packed with material about breaking into screenwriting—will be hitting your mailbox any day. And if you're not, it hits newsstands 6/17.

I think this is my favorite Writer's Digest cover so far (my previous favorite was Sebastian Junger, December 2006). Anyway, I wanted to share it here with you. Let me know what you think.

Diablo Cody is such a fresh new voice and I'm so pleased that we had the opportunity to share her inspring story on breaking into the world of screenwriting.

Keep Writing,
Maria
