NALIP is now accepting submissions for Fox Writers Intensive nominations
Deadline: October 5, 2014
The Fox Writers Intensive (“FWI”) is a highly selective writer’s initiative, held at the Fox Studios in Los Angeles, CA, January 2015 through May 2015. The Intensive is designed to introduce experienced writers with unique voices, backgrounds, life and professional experiences that reflect the diverse perspectives of the audiences Fox creates for to a wide range of Fox showrunners, writers, directors, screenwriters and creative executives. These collective individuals will work with the selected writers in a series of master classes to build on both their general craft and further their skillsets in the business of writing for television, feature films and digital content. Please note that while employment cannot be guaranteed, every aspect of the initiative is designed with a goal — to provide the accepted finalists with intensive creative and professional development, exposure and opportunity that would best equip him or her to succeed at Fox.
FWI Finalists will be engaged in interactive master class sessions with established writers, showrunners and directors to discuss case studies of their films and/or television series, gain an insider view of their career trajectory, as well as an analysis of their writing processes.
FWI is for trained writers and/or previously staffed, produced or published writers who have a strong command of their craft and who are deeply committed to pursuing that craft as a profession.
How to Apply:
FWI is by nomination only. Fox has identified a select number of organizations which have a history of fostering strong emerging and developed talent from diverse backgrounds. These ORGANIZATIONS, as well as AGENCIES AND MANAGEMENT companies, have been invited to nominate up to five (5) writers affiliated with their organization, or respective agency/management company, who are representative of the criteria required by FWI and who they believe will most benefit from participation in the initiative. All nominees will be contacted by FWI and provided with a secure login and password to receive submission details and to apply to the initiative.
