Since 1999, many Writemovies contest winners and consulting clients have had their work optioned and produced, with many also finding representation. Several novels have also been published and plays produced. Production companies, studios and agencies contact us all the time about our winners. We succeed when you succeed! The contest is the brainchild of Alex Ross, who discovered the academy nominated writer Andrew Niccol ( 'The Truman Show').
