Congratulations 🎉🎊 to you Naser Shahrivar! Not too shabby, Coverfly has placed your screenplay within the top 10% and on the Red List!
Now that is something to boast about!

With Iran 🇮🇷 in the news so much lately this is a much more positive topic.

Naser has been working diligently on the revision of his novel “The Persian Lover/Creed and Greed” and has hopes of publishing it soon. Watch for the upcoming announcements.

Thank you screenplay competition
