Screenwriters Network saves scripts from every competition (not just winners) in the hope to soon start producing and paying for quality screenplays under the SWN name.
★★★ JUDGES ★★★
Our judges comprise of five veterans of the film and TV industry. We are fortunate enough to have a new judge join the panel - Grant Cathro.
Grant is one of the most prolific and successful writers working in teenage and children's television in the UK. With an astounding 500+ produced television scripts to his credit, Grant's work has been nominated for (and has won) BAFTA, Royal Television Society, Writers' Guild of Great Britain and Prix Jeunesse awards.
★★★ CATEGORIES ★★★
There are three main categories you may enter your script into:
- SHORT: Up to 40 pages.
- FEATURE-LENGTH: Over 40 pages.
- TV PILOT : Up to 75 pages.
We offer the choice of giving feedback on your screenplay at an extra cost. Feedback will be from our judges and script consultants.
★★★ SCRIPT FEEDBACK ★★★
We provide an in-depth and thorough analysis of your screenplay. Passing through not one, but two pairs of eyes!
Notes submitted by the judge of your script will be passed on directly to one of our professional script consultants (who reads it again).
