Submissions For the 2010 Season Are Now Underway!

CSW wants to help you take your story to the next level. Don't miss out. Here's what Harry Bauer said about our services:

It was thrilling to find out that I had been selected for Chicago Scriptworks' 2009 season. They did an excellent job putting together the staged reading and bringing my characters to life! The actors engaged in full blocking and weren't simply standing with scripts on music stands. It was a true performance. I can't think of a more valuable way to see where your works soars and where it putters along, without actually getting the movie made. Unless you've got a huge wad of cash in your back pocket, I recommend that you submit to Chicago Scriptworks. If you are fortunate enough to be selected, you will get a prize of immense value. --Harry Bauer, Screenwriter of "Character Sheet"

Beginning in 2010, winning screenplays will be featured on CSW's upcoming podcast. One more way we'll help provide exposure to industry, family and friends.

Here's a testimonial from George Ferris, screenwriter of a recent production, "Beyond the Horizon"

"I think Chicago ScriptWorks provides an essential service to screenwriters of any level of experience, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your organization as a service to the community and a valuable tool to anyone who ever wanted to put a story into script form."
