and… action!

welcome!
Write Club Screenplay Challenge is a simple little blog that sets up mini-challenges for screenwriters. It’s like one of those 48-hour filmmaker’s challenges, but you don’t have to make a whole movie. You just have to write it.

• We establish the parameters of the challenge.
• You submit your “entry” in the comments section below the challenge post (using “scrippets“).
• Our referee(s) review the entries and choose a winner.
• The winner receives the satisfaction of having won (maybe someday we’ll offer something more than that… but if you’re not writing to write, that in itself is something to think about).

We’ll be launching our first challenge soon… keep checking back. And tell your fellow screenwriters.

why?
It offers motivation to get writers to write; it allows for socializing with, and feedback from, your peers; and it’s good fun.

inspiration…
Write Club Screenplay Challenge was inspired by the John August website. Although John is a busy busy man, he occasionally finds time to offer his blog readers a “scene challenge” — wherein John sets up parameters, and invites readers to post “entries”. There have been 5 challenges on John’s site in the past 30 months. When he has another, we’ll let you know.

Write Club is an appreciative homage to the spirit of John’s site.
