ISA Celebrated Writers Fall 2024

With are thrilled to announce our inaugural list of ISA Celebrated Writers!

These writers' projects have been evaluated by multiple ISA readers, advancing through several rounds in the Writing Gig consideration process. Their loglines stood out from the crowd, catching the eyes of our team. After being heavily considered for our gig mandates, they are now being considered for additional relationships with our industry partners. The Writing Gig submission process can be a long road, and we commend these writers on their dedication and patience.
