Writers BEFORE they receive feedback vs. Writers AFTER they receive feedback #scriptsky
Coming up for air after spending eight weeks working on your script: #scriptsky
Had some Chinese food for dinner last night, and I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting my fortune cookie to make industry predictions #scriptsky
Between DRIVE, THE NICE GUYS, BARBIE, and PROJECT HAIL MARY, I think it’s pretty safe to say at this point that Ryan Gosling is one of our greatest living movie stars #ProjectHailMary
Was watching FORREST GUMP the other night, and I have to admit, I was really caught off guard when he said this #scriptsky
Feeling kinda frustrated right now. People keep telling me that the character names in my new crime thriller script are too on-the-nose, but I’ve looked them over and over, and honestly, I just don’t see it #scriptsky
I know most people do their favorite movies list at the end of the year, but I don't because I'm a rebel. Ahead of tomorrow's Oscar nominations, below are my top movies of 2025. What were your faves? 🎥 #scriptsky
My little nephew wants to be a writer like me (I'm so proud). I was just in his room and stumbled across the letter he wrote to Santa. It's just so adorable
A writer named Harrison Query has sold two spec scripts within the past 2 weeks. This is EXACTLY why I keep telling you guys you should all change your last names to "Bidding War" #Scriptsky
Just got a reply from an agent who read my script. I'm not happy about the pass, but I appreciate his honesty
Superman, Thunderbolts, Captain America, and The Fantastic 4 all came out this year, but to me, the bravery of those characters doesn’t compare to the heroics of these superheroes in One Battle After Another
When e-mail queries no longer work and the only option you have left is calling managers and agents from a number they won’t recognize
Saw ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. A testament to the genius of PTA. A stellar cast led by Leo the Great. A masterclass in creating characters you remember. A 3-hour pic that just flies by. A funny flick that makes you feel alive. The kind of movie that makes you want to make movies.
Not many people are brave enough to say this. But script readers will automatically lose interest in your screenplay if the first sentence isn’t interesting enough. Which is why you need to grab their attention by using vivid, evocative verbs. Here are some helpful examples
People are saying that I’m using “Save the Cat” the wrong way in my latest script. But I just don’t get it
People are always asking me for tips to enhance the dialogue in their scripts. Well, one trick you can employ is having characters use common expressions rather than stating their opinions outright. It can be hard to figure out, so here's an example from an acclaimed script
Really upset. Someone told me that short stories are the best way to break in right now, so I wrote one and sent it to the top managers. But when they read it they told me to never contact them again. How the fuck was I supposed to know one paragraph isn't enough
I have a decent number of followers, and more than a few may be readers for the Black List. So I’ve started using pseudonyms on my scripts when I submit them to the site so that people can judge me on my writing without being biased by my name. What do you guys think of this one?
People keep telling me that the first page of my new script has too much exposition, but I don’t know. I just don’t see it
Was listening to this classic the other day. When you make an album this good, you really don’t need to make another.
I’ve noticed more and more writers are using creative fonts for their title pages so they can better capture the spirit of the screenplays. So I decided to try that for my latest script. What do you guys think?
