How do I submit?

Click “submit” at the top of this page and follow the on-screen prompts. You’ll receive a confirmation email with further info after registering. After registration, email your materials in PDF format to our coordinator.

Can I request a specific development exec?

Yes! If you had a particular reader last time, just let us know, and if they’re available, we can match you up with them again.

Who are the readers?

Our readers are Script Pipeline executives with 5 to 20+ years of experience in the industry. Their backgrounds include roles at major agencies, production companies, studios, and networks—specifically in material review and story development.

What if my script is on the longer side?

First: we’d strongly recommend cutting it down. However, we understand some scripts run long because of the nature of the project. Contact us if your script is longer than 130 total pages (not including cover page), as there is an additional $2/page fee over 130.

Do you circulate scripts that receive a Recommend to industry? What is a “Recommend” anyway?

A “Recommend” means we believe your script is very well-written and ready for industry circulation. These scripts are considered for circulation to our manager, producer, and agency contacts, as well as potential inclusion on Pipeline: Scout.

If one of our readers flags your work, you’ll receive a final review from a Senior Executive. They’ll meet with you to offer feedback and may discuss other scripts you’re developing. In most cases, our team works long-term with Recommend writers to help guide their careers. There is no additional fee for this post-Recommend process.

Should I include a logline?

While not required, we do prefer a logline to accompany your submission—either on the cover page or in the body of your email.

Can writers outside the US submit?

Yes. Writers outside the US are welcome to submit their work. However, we only accept scripts written in English.

Do you accept AI-written screenplays?

No. Ethical considerations aside, this is a writing competition and development platform, so we expect screenplays to be written by good ol' fashioned humans.
