You may have already heard, but ScreenCraft is flying up to 4 lucky screenwriters to Los Angeles for top-level meetings! The ScreenCraft Screenwriting Fellowship is designed to jumpstart and continually develop the careers of talented screenwriters through ongoing consultation and by arranging meetings and introductions to key entertainment executives, producers and representatives.  With this fellowship, we aim to cultivate a growing community of visionary screenwriters with meaningful connections to Hollywood mentors.
