CI SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

  • Scripts must be written in standard screenplay format. If you’re uncertain about your format, please see our CI Spec Format & Style Guide. Many submissions have format problems that could be rectified simply by reading our Guide.
  • We do not accept feature scripts over 130 pages or 1-hr pilots over 70 pages. If you’re running long, that’s a sure sign you should go back and edit.
  • We accept the following formats: PDF, Word, Final Draft, RTF. If your screenplay is in any other format, please convert it to a PDF before sending to us. That said, please DON’T write screenplays in Word. Get some proper screenwriting software, please! Come towards the light, my friends…
  • Make sure to include a title page which contains your name, contact information as well as the script title.
  • We are happy to look at any support materials such as a pitch deck or series bible, but there may be an additional fee to do so. Please contact us.
  • You need to be the owner of, or have the rights to, the screenplay you are submitting. We do not generally accept submissions that are based on existing IPs or use copyrighted characters created/owned by someone else (certain exceptions apply, such as when you are working with a producer on a spec piece of material for a franchise. Contact us to discuss.)
  • We are happy to set up post-coverage phone, Zoom or Skype consultations with the reader to discuss the notes or bounce ideas around. The rate is $45/half-hour. Just contact us if you want to go for it.
  • Resubmissions are assigned to a new reader by default. We allow one resubmission to the same reader within a 6-month period. If you wish to have your script read by the same reader who read it previously, please let us know.
  • We recommend you copyright all submissions. WGA registration is fine as well, but bear in mind it has far less legal protection than a copyright.
