Screenwriters From Arizona
A screenplay writer (also called screenwriter, scriptwriter, scribe or scenarist) is a writer who practices the craft of screenwriting, writing screenplays on which mass media, such as films, television programs and video games, are based.

Profession Screenwriting is a freelance profession. No education is required to be a professional screenw ...
