FWIW, we know there's been some consolidation with Industry Arts, but as far as Coverfly--a platform we've used for years, and still use--have not heard about any upcoming restructuring. All our competitions on CF are active and open, and will remain so through the remainder of this season. /

Psst #ScriptSky #scriptchat We’re still here for you. 🦊

Had a few messages after the contraction of another platform, so just to clarify, Pipeline is: - independently owned and not under the umbrella of the corporation consolidating their services 🏴‍☠️ - not going anywhere any time soon (we’re sorry or you’re welcome) 🦊 Onward. scriptpipeline.com

Upcoming Symposiums, including THIS TUESDAY with Grant Faulkner, a crash course in novel writing. symposium.pipelineartists.com #screenwritersky

In our Unsubtle Marketing era…. The 2025 season is now open: scriptpipeline.com/shop/pitch-contest #screenwritersky

We’re in our 26th year now, but that’s a bit vague tbh. The competitions started in 2003. The Workshop, however, was what launched Script Pipeline in 1999. And since that time, we’ve helped thousands of improve their skills, get repped, get produced, and find their niche as writers. /

A weekend reminder that so much in Hollywood comes down to relationships. Do with that what you will.

Big fan of this idea.

Posting about playwriting yesterday made me realize a lot of my writer friends might not have ever actually read a stage play. I can't tell you how much they've taught me about crafting raw character and dialogue. Here are a few of the plays that helped shape me as a writer: 🧵 #Scriptsky #Playsky

NOW ANNOUNCED Winner of the 2024 Pitch season: “Playback” by Khaled Ridgeway scriptpipeline.com/shop/pitch-contest Looking forward to developing this one with Khaled!

⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ Some news! Yes, it deserves an exclamation point! Our 2024 finalist "Deafblind," written by Jeff Williams, is now under option! In August, a few weeks after being announced as a finalist, Jeff signed with Pipeline industry partner Josh Dove. Updates to come! 🥳

New "The Story Will Save You" episode! Writer Erin Hemenway shares her path from circus youngin' to screenwriter to self-published author—who created a Naughty Mrs. Claus. @jeannevb.bsky.social and Ciara Duggan even learned some new #writing tricks. https://buff.ly/4hA1eNG #BookSky #ScriptSky

New The Story Will Save You #podcast is live! Ciara Duggan and I interviewed Erin Hemenway about her path from circus baby (yes, you read that right) to screenwriter to self-pub author. LOTS of great tips! #scriptchat #BookSky #ScriptSky thestorywillsaveyou.buzzsprout.com/2356701/epis...

Saturday marks the start of our 26th year. To the writers we’ve discovered, to the industry we’ve had the chance to support, and—most importantly—to those who have championed our efforts in building new bridges across Hollywood and beyond: 25 years was only the first act. 🥂 🦊 scriptpipeline.com

Today is the day! @storyandplot.bsky.social leads a new @pipelineartists.bsky.social Symposium, "Concept is King: Elevating Story Concepts" Yes, you can still sign up. Yes, it's being recorded. Here's a peek at Tom on "Reckless Creatives." #ScriptSky symposium.pipelineartists.com/event/concep...

TODAY! Exclusive event for screenwriters (and authors welcome!). Hosted by @storyandplot.bsky.social Reserve a spot by 4pm PT: symposium.pipelineartists.com/event/concep...

🧐

We’re putting an indefinite hold on #PipelineWriters chats (if you remember those glory days on twitter). But our exec @jeannevb.bsky.social will continue her #scriptchat here and on X! 💥 ✍️

So #ScriptSky peeps, let's say I brought #scriptchat over here once/mo. I can't do it every week, so trying to be realistic. Would 5-6pm PT on first Friday of every month be a good night? I feel like Fridays worked best for our #PipelineWriters peeps. Thoughts? #WritingCommunity #screenwriting

Heads up, for the filmmakers… filmpipeline.com

TUESDAY. New #Symposium event, hosted by screenwriter Tom Vaughan. @storyandplot.bsky.social PLUS: all attendees will receive a free entry to Script Pipeline! The best $35 you can spend all month. Unless you’re buying a 4K Lynch movie on Criterion… Learn more: symposium.pipelineartists.com

I need to organize this place. Can my #PipelineWriters and #scriptchat peeps raise their hands, so I can make a list of y'all? Pretty please. #ScriptSky #FilmSky #BookSky #WritingCommunity

The fastest route to selling a script and getting it made is to have a concept that gets people excited before they ever read the screenplay. Next Tuesday, I'm hosting a symposium with @pipelineartists.bsky.social on maximizing the story concept in your #screenwriting. The link is in the replies 👇

you heard them.

Watch more indie films this year.

All the talk about TikTok is distracting you from the most important thing happening this month in the creative community, by far, without a doubt— symposium.pipelineartists.com/event/concep...

“I write this in the hope that the following serves as a time capsule…when we look back at the fallow time in Hollywood with a smile, a shake of the head, and a ‘glad we made it past that’.” Some Friday night reading on @pipelineartists.bsky.social… pipelineartists.com/the-year-wor...

We'd like to share some of the best resources on how our Pipeline audience can support Los Angeles fire victims during this ongoing disaster.... Please drop links of verified, reputable places below, including lists of where local residents can donate clothing and items, foster pets, etc. 🙏🏙️
