Struggling to launch your screenwriting career?
We understand. It’s tough. That’s why Shore Scripts was created; to help emerging screenwriters connect with the Film and TV industry.
But did you know that there are hundreds of thousands of new screenplays written every single year? That’s a lot of competition. But did you ever stop to think about who actually reads all of those scripts?
Script Readers of course!
Screenplay contests, coverage services, literary agents, studios, production companies, film festivals, you name it, whenever there are tons of screenplays to read, that is when script readers are required.
They’re literally the backbone of the industry (some may even call them The Gatekeepers).
Some readers have been working in the industry for years, but often it’s an entry-level position and more importantly, it’s a stepping-stone job to bigger things – especially screenwriting!
Oh, and did we mention that one of the single best ways to improve your screenwriting is by reading and analyzing other scripts, so why not get paid to do it, right?
