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. 

NoQueryLetter.com is not a coverage service. We’re not asking you to pay for scoring because we believe writers/creators should be compensated and not made to pay for anything.

We put our money where our mouth is – if you score high enough you will be considered for a tiered option and receive backend money like a producer. No one does that and it sets us apart from all others.

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 that exists and prevents your work from being read. Are you clapping yet?

Since we are one of the very rare firms that consider unsolicited material, you will be required to agree to the release form. Note: you retain all rights to your work at all times. Don’t be fooled by naysayers who are afraid of release forms. It’s ironic, they’re usually the same people who are okay with sending their scripts willy-nilly to screenplay contests and yet have no idea if anyone is genre-qualified to read their work; they don’t know who has access to the script and where it’s stored; or how long the script is kept, archived, copied or emailed to anyone remotely. Food for thought fellow scribes.

Your script will be read, scored and then deleted. NoQueryLetter.com does retain your score for future reference, it’s especially helpful for when comparing your rewrite score.

NoQueryLetter.com does not use scripts to train any AI system. We have our own proprietary knowledge base that has been painstakingly developed at great cost.

We accept all genres from any writer, anywhere in the world. We’re focused on finding the best scripts from the best storytellers and we know how to do this very well.

If you’re tired of the layers of friction like:

  • Hearing excuses peppered with “we’re looking for something more elevated.”
  • Waiting weeks and months for a reply you’ll never get.
  • If you’re like us and hate writing query letters or paying to learn pitching 100 different ways that still doesn’t get your work read.

Your pitch isn’t what you’re selling, is it?

Every hoop you’re told to jump through is friction and likely costs you, the writer/creator. We’re eliminating all of it. So, if you want to be judged only on the quality of your spec script, then smile and click on the submission link. Don’t forget to bookmark us, there’s much more to come.

“Backed by extensive research and data analysis, NQL’s revolutionary
platform combines technology and love of storytelling in a way that
really helps writers. Not only did I get optioned, the process was fast
and easy! Now, with solid feedback on my screenplay’s marketability, I
can focus on the next steps instead of running in circles.”

How this works:

  1. On the Submission Form, 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(s) it will affect your score. Know your story, your genre(s) and genre conventions. For more examples and detail read #1 in FAQs.
  2. Your script will be read and scored using the FilmIQ™ Screenplay Grading System™. The aggregate category scores will be your total script score out of 100. In addition to the script score, we will assign a FilmIQ™ Marketability Score™ out of 10.
  3. Now, it’s time to get excited. If your script scores a 90 or greater with a marketability score of 9 or higher, you will be optioned and receive the full report on your script. Congratulations, stop writing! If interested, we can offer writer representation which will give you access to the StoryForge™ Suite of Writers Tools we’ve developed.
  4. If your script scores 88 and higher with a marketability score of 8 or greater, you will be considered for an option. Let’s talk polish. Look at the summary report with overall weaknesses we’ll send you, do a rewrite and resubmit.
  5. If you score between 70 and 85, we will provide you a summary report with the overall weaknesses. Focus on those weaknesses, rewrite, then resubmit. 
  6. If you score below 70, you need to polish your screenwriting skills and/or rethink your story altogether. Focus on the overall weaknesses we’ll send and keep writing, don’t give up.
  7. You will be emailed with your scores within 7 days. You will get a call from one of the producers if your script meets our standard for optioning, 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. You can judge how you did by taking a look at #2 on the FAQ page where we have s films.
  8. Click on the submission button below then complete the form and submit. Good luck!
