Vetted Material: WScripted
Wscripted is an online marketplace for producers, agents, studios and streamers to find and hire female and non-binary writers and source excellent works written by women*. Wscripted aims to revolutionize the discovery of literary talent by expanding the talent pool and increasing opportunities for women writers worldwide.
While 2020 was a pivotal year for diversity in entertainment, structural barriers remain intact and block access for emerging writers. Wscripted bridges the gap between women storytellers and the industry by allowing members to submit their screenplay, novel, or play on the platform. Wscripted then reviews, scores, and curates excellent scripted content & IP for decision-makers. Wscripted hosts monthly pitch series featuring up to 4 female storytellers to help producers & development executives discover talents and vetted projects according to their creative vision.
"We believe that women writers remain underrepresented in the entertainment industry because of a lack of access to potential business partners. Our goal with the Inaugural List is to break the entry barriers for nominated women storytellers by helping them gain visibility among producers and creative executives looking to discover emerging female voices."
Wscripted unveiled with Variety its Inaugural Cannes Screenplay List of top English-language feature screenplays during the 2021 Cannes Film Market.
The List highlights a diverse selection of 25 vetted female-written screenplays available for option or seeking financing. Among the nominees, 10 are from Arab, Asian, Black or Latinx storytellers, and one identifies as disabled.
Producers, executives, managers, agents and directors looking to discover female talents and their content are welcome to create an account as a Decision-Maker on wscripted.com.
By clicking on the “Content” page, Decision-Makers can filter their project search by score, language, genre and format, and discover tailored project recommendations, rated as “Excellent” by Wscripted’s team.
