Writers’ Block

Screen and stage

Scripts that are producible.

Scripts for film, television, animation, audio and theatre, written to industry format and reviewed at the points a producer actually needs to see.

What you can commission

11 kinds of work, each a brief away.

The gates that apply here

A gated milestone cannot start until the gate before it is approved. This is enforced in the platform, and an override needs a clause in your contract and is logged with the reason.

How bidding works here

Bids are blind, structured and inside a band.

Writers cannot see each other’s bids, the number of bids, or who else is bidding, at any point, including after you select. Every bid states the same things in the same shape, so you compare scope against scope rather than sales pitch against sales pitch.

  • What every bid must stateMandatory

    Price and currency, milestone and gate plan, timeline, revision rounds, exclusions, AI-use declaration, relevant experience.

  • Default orderingRelevance

    Never price. No bid is ever labelled cheapest or best value.

  • Losing bidders learnOutcome only

    That the brief closed. Never the winning price.

What it usually costsScreen and stage

Priced by format and length: a short film or an episode costs less than a feature or a whole series.

A guide so you can budget, not a quote and not a cap. You choose a budget range when you post a brief, and every bid you receive falls inside it.
