Hi, Scriptwriters!

Script Frenzy is just over two months away, and it’s never too early to start planning. The next big one-hour drama, monster movie, musical, or edgy graphic novel might be brewing in your mind right now. Since the Frenzy will be here faster than you know it, now is the perfect time to conjure up the script you’re going to tackle in April.
