SCREENWRITING FELLOWSHIPS, TV MENTOR PROGRAMS & SCRIPT CONTESTS (Which is Best?)

SCREENWRITING FELLOWSHIPS, TV MENTORING PROGRAMS & SCRIPT CONTESTS…Which is Better?

Script Fellowships or TV Mentoring Programs, if truly a paying fellowship (see below), are better than 94% of the Screenwriting Contests.

However, of the 100-150 Screenwriting Contests about 6%, less than 10, are superb that if you win 1st, 2nd or 3rd place, it is almost guaranteed that you will (A) get your script read by the industry, (B) receive purchase agreements (option offers) and (C) be solicited by numerous literary agents for representation and on-going pitch meetings.

  • (6) HBO ACCESS WRITERS PROGRAM

  • (7) DISNEY/ABC TV WRITING PROGRAM

  • (8) FOX DIVERSITY WRITER’S INITIATIVE

  • (9) CBS WRITER’S MENTOR PROGRAM

 

Now, write the great script (easy to say, difficult to do) and submit to the listed Screenwriting Competitions ($45-$65 Submission Fees) while simultaneously using it as your “spec script” (spec…slang phrase for Writing-on-Speculation, aka: Free) while applying to the Hollywood Writing Mentorship & Fellowship (aka: scholarship) Programs.

Want to write the great script? Of course you do.

The key to great writing is dialogue and quite possibly you might have what is called a “good ear” (a gift for dialogue)… for it is easy to learn format (SOFTWARE: Trelby, Final Draft, Scrivener, Writer Duet, Fade In or Celtx), and for structure within 2-hours in my Live/DVD/Streaming Film Schools I instantly give the blueprint for storytelling within a 90-120 page script, that has 40-50 scenes, with two-dimensional character, a primary A-story plot and 3 B-story sub-plots that satisfies the reader/viewer with a Set-Up (Act I), a Roller Coaster Ride (Act II) and a Crisis and Resolution (Act III)… with possibly an epilogue.

Please don’t wait. Let me demystify Hollywood and give you the simple tools to launch your career.

 

Happy Screenwriting,

Dov Simens

    This is why it is important to develop your writing skills from an early age, this can greatly help you in your future profession. Although, despite the large number of writing assignments in college, many simply delegate the task to services like this eduboard.com

    I’ve always wanted to combine my love for travel and business. These business ideas for travelers from TripZtour give me a fresh perspective on how to achieve that.
