the most compelling screenplay. In this workshop, you will go through

The 2021 Script
Pipeline Screenwriting and TV Writing Competitions connect talented
writers with production companies, agencies, and managers who can
help launch their career. As one of the longest-running and most
successful screenplay contests, we focus specifically on finding
writers representation, supporting diverse voices, championing
marketable, unique storytelling, and pushing more original
projects into production.
Entrants may
register now for a lower entry fee and submit the final draft of
their script later at no additional fee.
Over $8 million in
screenplays and pilots have been sold by Script Pipeline writers, with
numerous scripts produced since 1999. In September 2020,
Legendary picked up finalist screenplay Bring Me Back by
Crosby Selander for seven figures, and over the last few years
alone, Script Pipeline winners and finalists have optioned
screenplays, sold shows, or were staffed on streaming and network
series, including Writers Guild Award-winner Howard Jordan Jr. (Family Reunion, The Unicorn),
Tripper Clancy (Die
Hart, I
Am Not Okay With This), and Laura Bensick (Everyday Insanity). Many
others connected with representation, such as Screenwriting
winner Helen Gaughran signing with UTA and 2020 writers signing
with managers at Kaplan/Perrone, Writ Large, and Zero Gravity.

Television pilot
writing was once a carefully guarded inner sanctum limited almost
exclusively to showbiz insiders. With the recent explosion of
successful cable dramas and Internet viewing, it’s now possible for
writers without a strong track record or network connections to get
producers and executives to read and sometimes even buy their pilot
scripts. If you sell a pilot, you’ve reached the pinnacle of TV writing
success. It’s extremely satisfying to see your brainchild come to life
on the screen, and it can lead to an extremely lucrative career in
writing, production, or “show-running.”
In this
workshop, you will learn the tools professional
screenwriters use to finish high-quality scripts under deadlines. By
the end of this workshop, you will have completed and received
professional feedback on a script for your drama pilot.
