We thought it would be fun to share some of the many great emails we've received regarding our Screenplay Contests and Consulting Services!

(This doesn't even include the many positive Facebook comments and tweets!)

In no particular order, here is an updated list of 92 enthusiastic emails we've gotten from happy screenwriters in the past several months:

1. "ScreenCraft catapulted my career years ahead of even my most optimistic expectations. The contacts and -- perhaps even more importantly -- the legitimacy the fellowship gave me has helped me land top tier representation and put me in a position to pitch projects to major studios." – Robert H.

2. "Placing 2nd in the Screencraft Action/Thriller Contest directly led to me getting signed with one of the top management companies in Hollywood. I’m going out of a ton of meetings and now have multiple projects in development. I cannot thank John, Cameron, and the rest of the Screencraft team enough. This contest opened the door to my screenwriting future, and I will always be grateful." – Aaron S.

3. “Absolutely amazing feedback!   This was worth the entry fee. Much gratitude.” – John M.

4. "Winning second place in the Screencraft Horror Competition was a huge boost for our career. The notes we received were smart and insightful, strengthening the script on a fundamental level. On the heels of the contest, we were signed by Andrew Wilson at Zero Gravity Management. The exposure we received led to some great press, meetings with producers and development executives, and pitches on a number of writing assignments." - Alex. G

5. "For me my professional screenwriting career started with the Screencraft contest. It was a quarter final placement in the family friendly contest for me and what I came out of this with was honest, encouraging, constructive feedback so I knew what I needed to do to improve. A year later and also utilising the Screencraft consultancy services I was a finalist in the annual Fellowship competition. As a direct result of this and alongside a fantastic referral from Screencraft again I signed with a Hollywood lit manager. So for me it all started with the Screencraft contest. It was the first time I'd allowed my writing to be fairly and objectively judged and it allowed me to grow as a writer. I wouldn't be where I am now without it! I can only recommend any writer looking for a contest that is well judged and can actually help your career to use Screencraft! Thanks again!" - Thomas G.

6. “Thank you so much for the feedback. In fact, the main reason I enter screen craft competitions is for the discounted feedback. I've always found it so helpful.” - Theresa, screenwriter

7. "The ScreenCraft Fellowship was a pivotal moment in my career as a writer. John and Cam made every effort to not only connect me with industry members, but to make sure that I received representation. It's hard to imagine being nearly as confident in the future of my writing without the fellowship. I can't thank ScreenCraft enough and I encourage any writer seeking reps to apply." - Mark S.

8. “Thank you so much Cameron. This is so helpful! Great critique.” - Kim D.

25. this year. Please pass on my thanks to the reader - the pointers were very useful, and I agree with the feedback.” – Mike W.

So, thank the reader for his/her comments. Much appreciated.”

Thank you for TRULY reading my script, understanding my vision, and working to improve it immensely. I felt you were not only an outstanding reader, you provided mentoring and guidance in your feedback. One profound message you left me with was to look at my portrayal of female characters, to dive into my own beliefs about what makes a strong female character and how I can bring those qualities to life. I can't wait to write my next script with a female protagonist who isn't described as pretty for the sake of it. Your advice on genre, setting the tone, and expectations was another huge area where you provided excellent guidance. All of your feedback helped me to become a better writer and I really appreciate it.” – Rayelle N.
