CREATIVE SCREENWRITING
Founded in 1994, Creative Screenwriting has grown into the premiere magazine for screenwriters. During the 90s we were a printed magazine, publishing 25,000 copies six times a year. In the new millenium we launched the Screenwriting Expo, which in 2006 attracted over 5,000 writers, and resulted in our popular Screenwriting Expo DVD series.

Now Creative Screenwriting operates as a web magazine, bringing you articles from screenwriting journalists in Hollywood and around the world.
