Ask a Question

If you have a question about screenwriting, the entertainment industry or the projects I’ve worked on, then chances are I’ve answered it somewhere on the site. You should try –

  • the search box,
  • the Answer Finder, or
  • the category listings at the bottom of each page.

If you still can’t find an answer, please feel free write to ask@johnaugust.com.

IMPORTANT:

  1. Please include your first name and location (i.e. Tom in Bristol, England).
  2. Your question may show up on the site.
  3. I can’t answer every question. Sorry.
  4. I won’t read your script, your treatment, your query letter, etc. Sorry. Not only is that legally terrifying, but I wouldn’t possibly have the time.
  5. I don’t answer private emails, such as, “please write me back at joeblow@acme.com.” The purpose of the site is to help readers learn more about screenwriting, and answering questions privately doesn’t help the reader-at-large.
