Your script may be great, but one great script isn’t enough to launch a screenwriting career. If you want to be taken seriously by managers, agents, and producers, you need a portfolio: a body of work that proves you can consistently deliver.
In this episode of the Script Reader Pro Podcast, Scott and Desiree unpack what goes into a strong portfolio and why it matters. They discuss the importance of having more than one script ready, how to balance features and pilots, and what other materials (loglines, synopses, pitch decks, accolades, query letters) can make all the difference when someone asks, “What else do you have?”
You’ll learn:
- Why a single script usually isn’t enough to attract representation
- How many projects to have ready before pitching
- The types of scripts (and genres) to include in your portfolio
- Why accolades and festival placements add value
- How to showcase your professionalism and consistency as a writer
Think of it as your career starter kit. By the end, you’ll know what you need in place before sending your work out into the world, and how to show you’re not just a one-script wonder, but a writer worth investing in.
