Unscripted: Share Your Story

Getting your scripts read in this industry is a Herculean task. Every writer attempts to pitch and plot his or her way into an executive's door, some in more ingenious ways than others.

ScriptMag wants to hear your story of your most creative, wacky attempts at getting your script read! The best will be published right here on the site! Stories of failed attempts are just as worthy as successful ones. I will personally read each submission, so here's your chance to get on our radar.

How to submit:

E-mail your story to scriptmag@fwmedia.com

As a community, we'll all learn and grow by sharing our collective experiences. Why not end up getting published on ScriptMag.com in the process?

Let the tales begin!
