Your Path
to Breaking In

Every writer's "breaking-in story" is different. Dependent on your current career level, you may want to submit to Gigs, list your projects to be searchable on the ISA Writer's Showcase, attend industry events, pitch your projects, be hired, staffed or repped, or simply develop the tools to elevate your craft. All of these benefits are available with your ISAConnect Membership for a low monthly fee. Get connected today and be the next ISAConnect success story.

As an ISAConnect Member you can easily submit to unlimited Writing Gigs from our top vetted industry partners such as Paramount Partners, Miramax, Disney+, ICM, CAA and Lucky Chap, among others. With one low monthly membership fee, there is no limitation on the number of projects you can upload and submit, unlike other platforms that charge you per project or per submission.

The ISA Writer's Showcase is available to writers looking to share their projects or profiles with our vetted list of Industry Pros actively looking for projects to produce and writers to hire. Content from projects will not be displayed here unless you choose to share it or if your screenplay or pitch materials are requested. The important thing to remember is that you are in control of who sees your work and when it is shared.

We all want to know how the industry will perceive our work.The contest waivers help you to test your new or rewritten projects, while encouraging you to write for a deadline. The contests/fellowships for the waivers are selected by the ISA, and you'll receive a new one on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 to the email address associated with your account for as long as you maintain your ISAConnect Membership. You will then have 10 days from the release date to submit. Please be sure you are subscribed to receive updates.

View and register for all upcoming events here. Many classes are held virtually via Zoom or Youtube to accommodate members working from home or abroad.

The ISA platform is built for safety, and your projects are secure. You control which projects are visible by setting the "Discoverability" in My Projects. Verified industry professionals may request screenplays and marketing materials from projects listed on the ISA Writer's Showcase, and you may grant or deny access. All project shares, views and requests are tracked in My Submissions, so you have full transparency.
