If you are a writer who has had a similar request as a result of entering this competition, please let us know so we can add your success to this growing list. Many writers do not sell their first screenplay, but eventually get a writing assignment based on their work. Getting a meeting with an executive is the first step in this process. We provide a list of companies who have agreed to meet with at least one of the American Accolades' contestants from last year based on their submission to this competition.
