TV Pilot/Script Contest
​

When you submit your finished TV pilot or a script for an existing series to us (winning and finalist scripts for shows currently on the air can often propel a writer quickly into paid assignments and working gigs) , you have our guarantee that your material will be read page-by-page, word-for-word by seasoned professionals with dozens of produced television series credits as writers and producers.  Your script will never be assigned to an unpaid, inexperienced amateur or to unpaid interns.

You have our 100% guarantee that the analysis we deliver to you will be completely original and will be based upon an objective consideration of the ten primary elements of a professional script or series pilot.  We may make suggestions for the improvement of your work. Any suggestions offered have only one purpose: to support your success as a working television writer.

​The reader notes I received were incredibly helpful and gave me a lot of  very clear pointers on how to improve my TV pilot. I'm kind of a technophobe and had some trouble figuring how to submit via Film Freeway at first. The Santa Barbara people were super helpful and responsive. Great value. ~~Bonnie Sherman, Billings, MT

​Thank you for such a complete review my script! I've entered this contest twice. Both times, I've applied the feedback to my pilot.
