For staffing reasons, we’ve had to close our longstanding competitions access for French- and German-language writers – but if you’re bilingual and would like to relaunch and run those services for us, get in touch! Email ian@writemovies.com to express your interest.
Our competitions have provided a unique point of entry to the international market for writers in French and German for many years, but at the moment we only have staffing within those languages to continue to provide script consultancies in French. But we’d be delighted to hear from you if you think you could be able to deliver these services reliably and promptly on a part-time basis. We need someone who would:
- Be fully bilingual in English and either French or German, with a high standard of written communication in your chosen language.
- Be prepared to complete a WriteMovies internship (in English) for full training in how to appraise and develop scripts and writers to our standards. (More about our internships here: https://writemovies.com/about/current-vacancies/ )
- Rewrite and relaunch our offerings in their language specialty. Provide language-specific text we can turn into promotional graphics.
- Produce regular newsletters in that language adapting the best of WriteMovies’ content and offerings into their language.
- Handle enquiries and submissions in the language chosen, recommending promising scripts that we could develop and pitch to the international film industry.
- Provide consultancy reports to develop any writer and script that win a high enough placing in our contests based on their recommendation, and adapt or even translate it for pitching to the international industry.
- And, of course, have a keen interest and passion in movies and writing…
In return we can offer:
- Payment of 50% of submissions value in your chosen language.
- Access to around 1000 writers and industry professional contacts in your chosen language (to be handled and used appropriately within EU information security guidelines).
If this is of interest, contact our Director of World Wide Development Ian Kennedy, ian@writemovies.com.

We are proud to be able to announce THE CHERRY ROOM by Christine Stevens DeLorenzo as the winner of our Featured Script of the Month for scripts submitted in March 2017.
This bonus prize has been created to reward and develop the most interesting script we receive in the previous month, and the result has no bearing on the result of other entries to any of our competitions. As always, it was an interesting challenge to pick the most interesting script from such a wide variety of scripts written to a high-quality, but Lisa thoroughly deserves this.
For winning the Featured Script of the Month, Christine receives free Judging Feedback, plus a free resubmission for a redrafted version of her script, MARIGOLD, to our latest main Competition! On top of that, we give Christine and her script the kind of publicity that our previous Monthly Contest winners have received.
Honorable Mentions:
INSURRECTION, by Simon Bowler
THE ASHERAH, by Ronald Ecker
DRAGONS, by Jason Ginsburg
Here is a short biography on Christine…
Christine Stevens DeLorenzo is a creative writer. Her scripts have won and placed in a number of competitions and film festivals in the United States and internationally. She wrote and directed the short, Book of Nyx. The trailer is available to watch at bookofnyx.com. Christine’s “Writer’s Resume” is also available to read and view there. A graduate in Creative Writing and Literature, Christine’s education has taught her that when you get to the top of the mountain, keep climbing. When not writing, Christine volunteers her time helping and encouraging other aspiring writers and filmmakers.
And here’s a quick synopsis on the script itself:
THE CHERRY ROOM (Inspired by true events.) – An undercover cop, a writer, and the owner of New York City’s most famous gentleman’s club discover a sophisticated baby-making network that supplies elite pedophiles and satanic cults with prepubescent children.
Congratulations once again to Christine for winning the Featured Script of the Month! To be in with a chance of winning the Featured Script of the Month yourself, all you have to do is submit your script to a contest (CLICK HERE) or order a consultancy package (CLICK HERE) and you’ll be entered into the Featured Script of the Month FOR FREE!
