Craig Mazin and John August occasionally do a Three Page Challenge, in which they look at listener-submitted entries and offer suggestions. It’s not a contest. It’s strictly for the learns.
If you’d like us to consider your three pages, here are some important caveats:
- Three pages of screenplay or teleplay, folks. Anything longer will be deleted immediately.
- A cover page doesn’t count as one of your three pages. It’s your choice whether you want to put your contact information on a cover page.
- PDFs, .highland or Fountain are all okay. No .fdx, no Celtx, or anything else, please.
-
We need your real name. For this, no pseudonyms are allowed.
-
Please proofread carefully! We don’t like focusing on typos and dumb mistakes.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
I submitted a Three Page Challenge before. Do I need to resubmit? No. Whether you submitted on this form or via the old email address, we have your script in the system.
-
I’m part of a writing team. How should we submit? Just use one of your names on the submission form. On the actual cover page of your script, use both.
-
Can I submit a script based on something else, eg. fan fiction? Your call, but we really prefer original material.
-
Can I submit more than one? No. One entry per person, please.
