Entries will be counted for memberships purchased during this period.

Start the New Year by investing in your writing journey — and get a chance to win an exclusive one-on-one Masterclass of your choice!

Every January, Scriptwriters Network kicks off the year by welcoming new storytellers into our community. This year, we’re adding something special:

Join or renew your membership between January 1–31, 2026, and you’ll be automatically entered to win a private, personalized Masterclass with our President, Melessa Y. Sargent, tailored to what you want to work on — screenwriting, pitching, story development, rewriting, or crafting your next big idea.

What You Can Win

One (1) winner will receive a 2-hour private Masterclass, including:

• Guidance on story development, character, structure, and concept building

• Craft-focused support such as strengthening scenes, improving dialogue, or refining pacing 

• Help shaping pitches, loglines, and project positioning

• Answers to industry and career questions

• A focused session tailored completely to your creative goals

The session will be scheduled in February once both parties confirm availability.
