Alumni Accomplishments

The most successful alumni of any TV writing course in America.

This is our record from 2014 onwards.

Fellowships

Contest Placements

Staff Positions

We’re very proud of this record. No other screenwriting school comes close. And our true staffing and contest numbers are much higher. Prior to 2017, we weren’t tracking them as closely as fellowships—as a small school run by working writers, our time was focused on teaching. But we keep better records now.

For perspective, the studio fellowships (NBC, Disney, CBS, Warner Bros and Fox) are tremendously competitive—NBC alone receives 2500 applicants for 8 positions.

In 2020—Script Anatomy alums won EIGHT. In 2019—SIX. In 2018—NINE.

Since 2014, Script Anatomy alums have won FORTY-NINE studio fellowships. When you include the others (Sundance, Cape, Humanitas etc) that number is ONE HUNDRED AND ONE!

See below for our latest successes. Every month our writers secure representation, place in contests and start their first TV writing jobs as a direct result of working with us. Some have studied elsewhere before, but Script Anatomy is where the breakthrough happens, as our alumni say themselves in their video testimonials.
