Don't miss out on this new batch of Open Writing Assignments (OWAs) has just landed in your Writers' Room portal, and you have 10 days left to submit your work—deadline is April 23rd.
This round features an unusually wide range of opportunities, from a literary manager open to all genres and budgets to a producer seeking a screenwriter for a powerful, important feature film. Whether you write action-packed pilots or subversive character pieces, there's a door open for you.
FOR WRITERS SEEKING REPRESENTATION & WIDE-OPEN REQUESTS:
A Manager/Producer at a Literary Management Company is actively seeking Television Pilots and Feature Scripts across all genres. Open to any budget range ($1-3M, $5-10M, $15M+), shooting location, and story style—character-driven or plot-driven. All compelling submissions are welcome (comps: Parasite, The Worst Person in the World, Big Little Lies, The Studio).
A Manager is seeking High-Concept and Subversive Television Pilots and Feature Scripts that challenge genre conventions, offer a fresh or unexpected twist, and possess a bold, distinctive voice (comps: The Rehearsal, Eddington, Beau Is Afraid).
HIGH-OCTANE ACTION:
A Creative Executive is actively seeking Action Television Pilots and Feature Scripts—open to any budget and story style (comps: Reacher, John Wick, Hijack).
A Producer, Literary Manager, and Former Studio Executive is seeking High-Concept European Action Feature Scripts with strong international appeal and budgets of $15M or more (comps: Taken, Non-Stop, Unknown, The Commuter, Ronin, Frantic).
SPECIALIZED & UNIQUE REQUESTS:
A Producer is actively seeking an exceptionally talented screenwriter for a paid feature film project centered on sexual abuse in the Congo. This is a powerful and important story that demands sensitivity, research capability, and a nuanced approach to heavy subject matter. Writers with a background in journalism, human rights, or trauma-informed storytelling are encouraged to apply (comps: Reality, Killers of the Flower Moon, Monster).
A Director of Development and Co-Producer is actively seeking Grounded Area 51-Type Television Pilots and Feature Scripts that avoid sci-fi spectacle in favor of a restrained, character-driven approach—conspiracy thrillers, government cover-ups, or psychological dramas rooted in the lore (comps: Independence Day, The X-Files, Area 51).
The clock is ticking. With only 10 days remaining, don't let these opportunities pass you by.

That balance between idea and human experience is something I’m constantly trying to stay aware of. It’s easy to get lost in the concept, especially with themes like power, but without the emotional core, it doesn’t truly connect.
For me, the challenge is making sure the system never overshadows the people inside it — but instead reveals them.
Thanks again for the encouragement, and I’d love to follow your work as well.

Expand commentTucker Briggs Thank you for sharing this — I really like your approach, especially the focus on refining without losing the writer’s voice.
That “almost there” stage is exactly where I am with my current project, so I understand how important it is to have the right kind of feedback at that point.
I’m currently doing a lot of internal refinement, but I’d definitely be interested in learning more about your process and how you usually work with writers.
Let’s stay connected.

Expand commentLaquan Copeland Thank you, I really appreciate the support and guidance.
That’s exactly the direction I’m aiming for — continuing to refine the project while building the right connections around it. I agree that finding producers who align with the tone and scope of the story is key.
I’ll definitely be exploring the pitch sessions as I move forward. In the meantime, I’m focused on making sure the project is as strong and clear as possible before presenting it.
Thanks again — looking forward to being more active here.
