Wscripted+ vs Coverfly & The Black List
How Wscripted+ is Reshaping Writers' Discovery
Wscripted+ breaks barriers for writers by letting any project be discovered by Film & TV professionals based on their creative interests.
How Wscripted+ Differs from The Black List and Coverfly
We’ve built Wscripted+ specifically to break barriers for writers by enabling producers and agents to review content more efficiently and receive recommendations of projects, enabling writers to get their projects read by the right professionals. Unlike other platforms where you pay to host projects or apply to competitions, Wscripted+ lets all writers or industry professionals discover projects and store projects privately for free. To be discovered on the platform, writers and filmmakers can activate the Wscripted+ Writers membership, to get all their projects featured in search results and recommendations sent to producers and agents on the platform.
How Wscripted+ is a Game-Changer for Writers and a groundbreaking alternative to Coverfly and The Black List
The true power of Wscripted+ lies in the platform's innovative approach to story discovery. Instead of showcasing writers' work based primarily on credentials (as Coverfly did) or scores (like The Black List), Wscripted+ was built to limit bias for project discovery by letting any project be discovered by professionals based on their creative interests. This is how Wscripted+ makes it possible for producers and agents to find the right projects for them and for talent to get their projects discovered by the right industry professionals.
How Wscripted+ Democratizes Content Discovery
The platform was built to power the recommendation of all projects to professionals based on their creative interests. For example, professionals can search for specific content like "elevated genre film with female lead" or “rom-com to sell to Netflix.”, or search for "represented writers", or "thrillers selected on The Nicholl Fellowship, The Red List or The Black List". Wscripted+ was built to reshape how writing talent is discovered by giving producers and agents infinite options to find the right projects for them and breaking barriers for writers and directors to be discovered and read by the right professionals.
Maximizing your Project's Discovery on Wscripted+
Your active Wscripted+ Writers membership enables you to get all your projects on the platform promoted and recommended to producers and agents on the platform. Every time you upload a new project on Wscripted+ with a promoted status, the project appears in the search results and recommendations to professionals based on their creative interests — a true game-changer for writers' discovery.
Here are 2 simple steps to maximize your discovery on Wscripted+:
COVERAGE PAGE: Login to Wscripted+ and click on each project you've uploaded to edit its coverage. Ensure your project’s logline, comparative titles, genre, and themes are relevant to your project. For example, if one of your comparative titles is a Netflix rom-com, your project will appear as a recommendation for producers looking for similar projects.
WRITER'S PROFILE: Click on the card of one of your projects and head to your writer's page to fill out the form. Include as many details as possible in your bio (including credits with stars and production companies), add the link to your website, add your agent or manager’s name and contact information (or your email if you do not have representation). This will enable your projects to be recommended and appear in the search results when a producer searches for specific credentials. Your writer's page also showcases the list of all projects you are hosting and promoting on the platform.
Why Now Is a Good Time to Get Discovered on Wscripted+
As a relatively new platform, joining Wscripted+ now significantly increases your chances of discovery by high-profile producers and agents actively searching for content on the platform. To feature your project in the discovery and recommendations to producers and agents, make sure to activate your Wscripted+ Writers membership.
How to Ensure Your Project Is Discoverable
Login to Wscripted+ and confirm you have an active Wscripted+ Writers membership for your projects to be discovered. Your project is being recommended if the tag "promoted" appears on your project cards. If not, head to your account subscription and update your subscription to sign up for the Wscripted+ Writers membership. You will need to maintain an active Wscripted+ Writers membership for your projects to stay discoverable or recommended on the platform - the good news is, it only costs $10/month! You can also choose to cancel your membership and host your projects in private, but they won’t be visible to producers and agents searching for projects on the platform.
