Due to recent events, there are a number of opportunities for submissions/networking/reads for Black screenwriters currently being advertised on Twitter and other social media. These opportunities are sometimes time-sensitive, with short windows for submission. We would like to help our Black members be ready to take advantage of these opportunities and put their best foot forward. So, we are excited to announce that a collection of our @Verified Professional ✓ members have offered to provide free priority notes to all Black writers in the Screenwriters Network discord server.
Our Verified Professional members have confirmed their real identities and are working writers, directors, and producers in the industry. Their notes will help provide insight as to what execs and showrunners will be looking for.
This is a fantastic opportunity and we want to say a big thank you to our Verified Professionals for being so generous with their time. We are fully behind these efforts to uplift the voices of Black writers, not just right now, but as an ongoing commitment.
If you are interested, make sure you’re a member in good standing and check the #news posts for information on how to submit your script for notes. We will continue providing this service as long as we are able to in order to help the Black members of our community.
