Script Pipeline - FAQ's

Q: How do I submit my script to the Writers Workshop or competition?

Registration can be made by visiting the indivudal pages for the Workshop or competition.  Or, you can click on one of the buttons at the bottom of this page. 

Q: How do you select your industry contacts?

Many of our contacts are relationships we've formed overe the past 10 years, so it's pretty close-knit group of managers, producers, directors, and so forth that review our competition finalists and Writers Workshop "Recommends."  However, we continue to expand our base of industry execs, either through referrals from our trusted outlets or researching and qualifying new companies and indivudals.

Q: If I have an idea for a script, can I submit to the Workshop?

Our Writers Workshop accepts full-length feature screenplays, short scripts, TV pilots/specs, and most any material for technical editing.  However, we do not accept concepts at this time.

Q: Will Script Pipeline steal my ideas?  How do I know my work's protected?

The rights to any creative material submitted to the Workshop or competition remain with the writer.  For more information on copyrighting your work, visit the Writers Guild website at www.wga.org.  Scripts do not have to be registered with the WGA to submit.


Q: Let's say I sell my screenplay as a result of Script Pipeline's help, do you all take a percentage of the sale price?

Nope.  Script Pipeline never has, and never will, take a percentage if a writer sells a script we helped them develop.  The more success
stories we have, the better for everyone involved.   

Q: How do I know I'm getting quality notes?  Don't you just hire anyone to read scripts?

We could probably go on for several pages when it comes to our reader selection process. . . .  We're very picky, and a reader must have a considerable amount of experience in development to be considered.  Sure, we'll give interns scripts--but not your script.  All Workshop submissions and contest entries are read by a vastly qualified reader.  It's one thing we take very seriously, as the worst thing for us (and the writers) is to gloss over a great project.

For more information on the Workshop and our reader selection process: Writers Workshop.

Q: Can I pitch my script ideas, or will you consider circulating my script without submitting to the Writers Workshop?

In order to receive exposure to our industry contacts, and for us to assist in the circulation process, all material must be submitted first through the Workshop or competition.  Reason being, we use this as screening process to ensure our partners receive only the best material.
