SCRIPTLIT
Screenplays and screenplay books as literature. They always were.ScriptLit is the literary, film movement & book category that makes it official.
A new era for screenwriters
Film and television is a $383 billion dollar industry. Every story that built the film and tv industry began as a screenplay. Written by a screenwriter who in most cases does not own what they wrote, does not receive the credit they deserve, and earns nothing if it never gets made.ScriptLit honours the screenplay as literary art regardless of production. And the screenwriter as an author whose work has value regardless of whether Hollywood calls.
What is ScriptLit?A book category on the shelf that did not exist until now.Screenplays read as literature. Published as books. Recognised as the finished artistic works they have always been.

The vision
ScriptLit grows thanks to the people.BookTok proved it. Authors who built communities around their books online saw those books optioned, adapted, and turned into films and television shows. Not because Hollywood found them first. Because readers did.ScriptLit brings that same power to screenwriters.Every screenwriter who publishes ScriptLit and builds an audience around it adds to the canon. Every reader who reads, buys and talks about screenplay books makes the category more real. The more titles. The more readers. The more noise.Until the publishing industry takes notice. Until the film and television industry looks to ScriptLit to find which screenwriters and which stories already have the audiences they are looking for.But it starts here. With us. Giving value to what was always valuable.The screenplay.
