I'm Audrey Knox, a screenwriter, script consultant, and former literary manager. I have spent years helping writers break into the business, getting clients hired on shows including P-Valley, Ginny & Georgia, grown-ish, The Upshaws, Single Drunk Female, Reasonable Doubt, Sweet Magnolias, and more. During my eight years as a literary manager, I represented the writers of Alice, Darling (Lionsgate), Hot Frosty (Netflix), Single Black Female (Lifetime), Crushed (Tubi), The Santa Summit (Hallmark), and more. I have gotten writers jobs writing features for studios including Wayfarer (It Ends with Us), DreamWorks, Disney, Mar Vista, and Hallmark.
As the founder of Screenwriter Brunch Club, I have helped dozens of screenwriters finish their scripts, find representation, sign shopping agreements with producers, get their first paid screenwriting jobs, and finally break into the business.
The complaint I hear from screenwriters most often is:
"I can't get anyone to respond to my emails."
Almost nobody accepts unsolicited submissions these days, and those that do don't take them very seriously.
Your odds of breaking in from a cold query are close to zero.
This is because everyone in Hollywood prioritizes the people they know personally. They do favors for their friends before they ever consider taking a chance on a stranger. Even if you think this is unfair, it's not going to change anytime soon.
So, I compiled my best advice for you into a step-by-step process that will let you bypass the gatekeepers who don't take you seriously.
By building genuine relationships with real friends in the industry, your scripts will start being read by the people who can help you achieve your goals.
