Staff Positions
Script Anatomy is a known pipeline for the coveted studio fellowship programs. In 2021 our alums won TEN—3 at Disney, 3 at CBS, 4 at Warner Media. These fellowships are tremendously competitive, with upwards of 2500 applicants for just 8 positions. No other screenwriting school comes close.
Since 2014, our alums have won 57 studio fellowships, and when you include the others (Sundance, Cape, Humanitas), that number rises to 114.
Note: Unlike some schools our data is genuine. Prior to 2017, we weren’t keeping close tabs on staffing numbers—as a small school run by working writers, our focus was on teaching. But we keep better records now.
As our alumni attest, Script Anatomy is where the breakthrough happens.
