Here’s why writers shouldn’t miss the Scriptapalooza Fellowship
Founded in 1998, the Scriptapalooza Screenwriting Competition has become one of the most relevant screenwriting competitions in the industry. In the last 20 years, the company has developed several departments to nurture talent and create career opportunities.
Storytellers come from all over the world and from all walks of life, because of the simple fact that everyone has a story. Scriptapalooza has maintained its early days’ goal of helping as many writers as possible each year. This includes scripts being optioned and sold, writers acquiring literary representation, and mentorship.
The Scriptapalooza Fellowship was developed in 2016 to honor dedicated writers and help further their creative process & skills. Writing in itself is a journey, and they facilitate the process by giving the fellows the opportunity to be surrounded by like-minded professionals and individuals.
