About
Does your script leave the audience on the edge of their seats?
The Emerging Screenwriting team welcomes all interpretations of the Suspense genre. Submit your horror, thriller, mystery or crime stories that instill a sense of fear from the start and never let up, to genre-bending drama entries that leave readers laughing, terrified and/or shaking. We are eager to read your material and share with our list of mentors, partners or industry connections (see below list) for option or production consideration.
Plus, the Top 10 will be considered for the ISA Development Slate. Dev Slate writers are submitted to companies like Amazon/MGM, Lucky Chap, Miramax, Disney+, Paramount+, ABC Signature and more.
We are seeking suspenseful horror, thriller, mystery, and crime features and pilots!
