JOHN AUGUST
John August, writer of Go, Charlie’s Angels and Big Fish has created probably the best free screenwriting blog for screenwriters on the web. Type in any question about screenwriting in the search bar and there’s your answer.
THE BITTER SCRIPTREADER
As he says on his site: “The advice and rantings of a Hollywood scriptreader, tired of seeing screenwriters make the same mistakes, saving the world from bad screenwriting, one script at a time.” One of the original and best screenwriting blogs online.
GO INTO THE STORY
Great screenplay blog operated by The Black List, written by Hollywood screenwriter Scott Myers. In his own words: “I’ve been an online instructor through UCLA Extension Writer’s Program since 2002.
This blog is largely in response to students who wanted to continue our conversations about the creative process. I offer it as a resource to them and any other aspiring writer, especially those interested in screenwriting and the magic of movies.”
LIVING THE ROMANTIC COMEDY
If you’re writing a romantic comedy, you definitely need to check out this screenwriting blog from a leading Hollywood script consultant, Billy Mernit. “The delights and torments of romance (funny or not) as portrayed in the movies and experienced in so-called real life, foibles of the writing craft, and other topics apropos.”
MYSTERY MAN ON FILM
Unfortunately, the Mystery Man no longer writes on this site, but it has to be one of the best resources on how to write a screenplay to be found anywhere online.
THE SCREENWRITING SPARK
The ultimate round-up of the best screenwriting blog posts from around the globe. Simply type in whatever subject you want some info on, and you’ll be presented with a hand-picked list of all the best blog posts ever written about it. Warning: you can get lost reading for hours on this site.
WORDPLAYER SCREENPLAY BLOG
Pirates of the Caribbean writers, Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, host a forum and screenplay blog in which they and other Hollywood screenwriters answer all your questions on every aspect of the craft of writing.

Awesome list. Thnk you guys.

No matter how many scripts I write I can’t seem to get hired. Still haven’t got an agent or got anywhere in contest.
It’s worth reading all these blogs as they helped my writing a lot. Good selection.
We need more sites like this.
I’ve been writing for 10 years and will keep going until I break in. Thank you script reader pro for the inspiration every time I visit. W
I have a great script that will surprise you. Just need to get it in the hands of an agent and I’ll be signed in 48 hrs. Mark me words.
It may not be this simple, but start theaters that will show the films you wish to make. Why depend on
the MPAA?
Restaurants in a local area have different menu items with each restaurant. Why not have each movie theater in a local area each have their own set of currently showing films like restaurants in an local area have their own set menu items?
