Writer Success
I’ve done a lot of competitions over the years — won some, placed in others. No contest I’ve ever entered has given such focused, personal effort and attention to writers as Script Pipeline.

I could tell that Script Pipeline was different by their affable Twitter presence, but I've been blown away by the attention and care they give to the finalists.
