Screenplay Submissions

Coordinates screenplay submission pathways for managers, producers, competitions, coverage services, and controlled professional review.

Coverage First

Use script coverage and competition feedback before broad industry outreach.

Manager Track

Managers may help develop voice, portfolio, and long-term writer positioning.

Producer Track

Producer inquiries should use a concise one-sheet, logline, genre, budget range, and rights status.

Screen submissions use a separate lane

A book query and a screenplay query are different products. Aurora does not send a novel, screenplay, pitch deck, series bible, and visual archive together unless a verified recipient requests that package.

Manager route

Career and project development, script notes, portfolio strategy, introductions, and packaging for film or television.

Agent route

Negotiation and employment or sale opportunities, usually after market traction, referral, management, or recognized work.

Producer route

Property-specific development interest through an accepted submission channel, representative, referral, competition, or direct request.

Competition / fellowship route

Selective use where readers, terms, rights, fees, deadlines, and industry outcomes justify the submission.

Adaptation route

Book-to-screen material presented only after underlying rights, source canon, and the intended adaptation format are clear.

Attorney route

Submission releases, option/shopping terms, writing agreements, attachments, chain of title, and contract review—not creative representation by default.

Screen query package

  • One project, one format, and one clear reason for contacting that recipient
  • Logline, genre, feature or series format, page count, and concise writer biography
  • Short synopsis or one-sheet when the submission route permits it
  • Clean screenplay PDF with title page and controlled revision identity
  • Rights and registration status stated accurately without legal overclaiming
  • No attachments, links, pitch deck, or bible unless the recipient’s instructions allow them

Submission gates

Polish

Complete the script, table read, revision, coverage decision, and format check.

Protect

Maintain dated authorship records and use appropriate copyright or registry evidence.

Match

Confirm genre, format, open status, exact recipient, and submission instructions.

Track

Log the version, date, materials, response, follow-up boundary, and outcome.

Do not submit blindly: many producers, studios, agencies, and streamers reject unsolicited material. Aurora uses only verified routes and does not attempt to bypass stated submission policies.

Screen representation or production inquiry

Identify your role, requested project, format, and accepted submission route.
