Every writer, at some point, struggles to finish their script, whether that's due to writer’s block, plotting issues, or just finding the time to sit down and write.
That’s why we created our Script Development Fund, to help you find the time to finish your screenplay with dedicated support from our expert team.
Our Cash Grants will allow you to go on a writer’s retreat, take time off work, or use the money any way you see fit in order to meet your writing goals.
Plus, our Head of Education, Lee Hamilton, will be there to champion your work every step of the way. [i]“I know the pitfalls of writing a screenplay. I’ve been there! I also happen to know a great deal about looking at a screenplay from the reader’s perspective, which is why I’m excited to help two upcoming writers overcome the same hurdles, share my industry knowledge, and be part of a 12-month journey that will ultimately help them to develop their core ideas into the final drafts that will showcase their talent to the world” [/i]-Lee Hamilton.
We are accepting submissions in the form of short treatments or the first 10 pages of a Feature, TV Pilot, or Short script that you are currently working on.
Projects must be personal/specs, and not projects you have been commissioned or paid to write by a production company or producer.
Treatments and scripts must be written in English.
Shore Scripts will not seek to obtain any rights over your script at any time.
