"The more you write... the less you rewrite."

Kimberly Seilhamer

Welcome Screenwriters! Looking for answers? You've come to the right place. I launched this site in 1999 as an aide to other writers. I know when you're new to the business, so many questions are left unanswered. My goal is to share key information that can help you move forward in the Industry with your material. I have learned a great deal, and have overcome many obstacles throughout my continuing career as a produced feature-film screenwriter, WGAw member and most recently, producer. I share my keen insight in the SCREENWRITERS ASSISTANCE area of this website. There you'll find helpful information like a pared-down list of the Script Competitions I consider most worthwhile, how to submit your material to producers, view sample contracts, and much more.

In addition, I also offer script consulting and career coaching. As it's often said, "first impressions are everything". Whether you're submitting to an agent, producer, manager, or competition, your script needs to be ready. I can help. If you're not sure how to get your script "in the door", then some career coaching may be what you need. Let me show you what it takes to open the door of opportunity for yourself.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Be sure to check the moviebytes.com website for upcoming script competition deadlines at least once a month.
