Screenwriting business process explained at Vancouver Film School
The Writers Guild of America West has launched a campaign suggesting to writers that they do not write for free. Aimed primarily at screenwriters, the campaign, which uses the hashtags #NoWritingLeftBehind and #NoFreeWork, focuses on so-called “pre-writing” such as film treatments and outlines that are requested by producers without any promise to the writer of being hired or paid. However, the suggestion is a good one for any writer who has gotten past the beginner stage of creating a set of clips. It’s important for writers to stand up for their rights and to advocate for the value they add. Plus, more income lets those writers hire great editors!
