About Us
Thank you for stopping by. This submission platform was built by writers for writers. Whether you’re an emerging screenwriter or a produced professional, we’re here to support you.
First, we are not a coverage service. We’re not asking you to pay for anything. There is no payment page, so relax.
We want to see your work. We don’t want to see or hear your pitch. Our core mission is to strip away the friction (obstacles) that exist and prevent your work from being read.
Please be aware of our submission window. Our submissions page will open and close at midnight on the beginning and ending dates posted at the top of the submissions page.
We accept all genres from any writer, anywhere in the world. We’re focused on finding the best scripts from the best storytellers.
If you’re tired of the layers of friction like hearing excuses peppered with “we’re looking for something more elevated”; or if you’re tired of waiting weeks and months for a reply you’ll never get; or if you’re like us and hate writing query letters or pay to learn to pitch 100 different ways… honestly, what’s the point?
Your pitch isn’t what you’re selling, is it? It’s all friction and we’re eliminating it.
So, if you want to be judged only on the quality of your spec script, then smile and click on the submission link. You’re home. Don’t forget to bookmark us, there’s much more to come.

- Before you submit make sure your script has a WGA or US Copyright. We don’t need it for your submission but strongly recommend you have at least applied for it. However, you will be required to have it if we decide to option your script.
- Maximum PDF file size is 1MB.
How this works:
- Be very specific about the nature of your story when you describe your screenplay in the genre section of the submission page. All sorts of genre-mashups are welcome. However, you should know the difference between a comedy with horror elements and a horror with comedy elements. Another example, know the difference between a love story with detective elements and a detective story with love elements. And so on. If you do not accurately describe the genre it will affect your score, so know your story! For more examples and detail see #3 in FAQs
- Your script will be read and scored across 15 categories. The aggregate will be your script score. In addition to the script score, we will assign a marketability score.
- Now, it’s time to get excited. If your script scores a 95/100 or greater with a marketability score of 9/10 or higher, you will receive an automatic option. Congratulations!
- If your script scores >85/100 and marketability score >7/10, let’s talk polish so we can option it. Usually these are minor weaknesses that can be fixed without unraveling your story.
- If you score between 70 and 85, you need to tidy up the categories that are weak. Don’t worry, we will pinpoint them. You’re almost there so focus on those weaknesses, rewrite, then resubmit but only during the submission window. If you miss the current submission window, check back, we’ll open it again.
- If you score below 70, you need to polish your screenwriting skills and/or rethink your story altogether. Focus on the weaknesses and keep writing, don’t give up.
- You will be emailed with your scores within 7 days providing you give us your email. You will get a call from one of the producers if your script meets our standard for optioning and providing you give us your phone number, otherwise you will be notified by email. In our opinion, getting a call to discuss an option is more exciting.
