Do you have an idea for a film or television script?

In 99.9% of cases anything you see on the big screen, or on television, will have been produced from a script or screenplay or teleplay of some sort.

If you’ve got an idea for a film or television script, then you could be on your way to the big screen.

The film and television industry invests an enormous amount of money in new scripts every year. Why? Because a successful release at the box office can mean huge profits for the investors.

Consider this: box office revenues for Australia in just one year were around one billion dollars; in the United States they were around nine billion dollars. That’s a lot of money in any country. But it’s not news—the film industry is big business and everyone knows it. What few people know, however, is that successful screenwriters can now command the salaries that were once reserved only for top actors and actresses.

High demand screenwriters can now earn between $2 million and $2.5 million a script. The screenplay adaptation of Angels & Demons (by Dan Brown) earnt the writer, Akiva Goldsman, $4 million. So there’s good money available for screenwriters.
