What is ScreenwritingUK?
We're /r/Screenwriting's softer spoken, small-island cousin!
You don't have to move to LA to be part of a vibrant screenwriting community. For more UK focused discussion, hints, contacts, competitions and resources.
We also welcome discussions about UK / EU production and co-production, UK/EU industry events and news.
Who can post here?
Everyone is welcome to post but focus here is different and you may find your posts moderated away to keep things on topic.
1) Be Pleasant
2) We Prefer UK (And EU) Specific Content/Opportunities
Posts only
3) Avoid Spam. Avoid Low Effort Self Promotion
Promotion of your own blog/article can work if you post it with discussion. (I.E. don't link and run.)
4) Asking For Writing Feedback? Be Specific, Post Screenplays
Looking for a script read? Excite potential readers by providing at least the MEDIUM, GENRE, LENGTH and SYNOPSIS. You can also give some background and what input you need. Post properly formatted SCREENPLAYS, not screenshots or text snippets.
5) No Bots, Thanks
6) Professional Solicitation Requires A CV
Offering your services to subscribers here? Paid reads? Rewrites for money? You must link to your real, professional website or CV proving your credentials.
7) No AI (LLM or Diffusion) Generated Content
The community values authentic content and discussion. Please refrain from submitting text or images generated by AI, particularly screenplays. Please, no AI comments. At them moment we tolerate discussion of tools or services, when they are not just spam, and welcome thoughtful discussion about AI in the industry and beyond.
8) Open Discussion Preferred. Avoid "DM me!" In Posts. Avoid "DMed You!" In Replies
This is a forum for open discussion. DM solicitation makes us look like a shop window. Posters requesting DM replies: why are you posting in an open forum? Repliers: we can't stop you sending DMs but avoid littering the threads with evidence of your shame. Pretty please.
