Get Your Work Out There!
Tired of little or no traction?
Playvel is interested in reading your screenplay for possible adaptation and publication on the Playvel site. We believe there are thousands of great scripts out there ready for an audience. We will market your story using our exclusive strategies giving you the opportunity to prove its appeal to the public and the production industry alike. If you have a great script sitting on a shelf or under a pile of rejection letters send it in, we’d like you to join us.
Who we are
Screenwriters and playwrights just like you. We know how difficult it is. Here’s an alternative.
What are we looking for? Screenplays, stage plays and teleplays
Stories with heart, with depth, with characters that come alive and face great obstacles. Stories about people with problems to solve, difficult moral and ethical choices to make, where much is at stake. We want characters who learn about themselves and experience a shift in identity. Characters with passion and strong desires, who feel things and make us feel things too. This applies to every genre, from cowboys to detectives, to star ship captains and intercity cops, to medieval or imaginary Queens and Kings, they all share the same humanity. In a very human way we are looking for stories about people who are just like us. If the above resonates with you, if you strive after these goals, send us your work.
Publishing your work on the PLAYVEL site
There are three phases for publishing on the PLAYVEL site:
- Submission – you submit your screenplay, stage play or teleplay below in PDF format only. As a special offer we are currently waving the ($50.00) submission fee. Submission is FREE.
- Adaptation – if we like it we will invite you to adapt it into the Playvel format using the Playvel Style Guide. We will work with you to make it the best it can be. Adaptation is FREE and any suggestions we make for improvements to your work are yours to keep and use at your own discretion regardless of Playvel publication.
- Publication – if approved for publication a modest publication fee of ($50.00) for partially costs applies. Upon publication of the Playvel we will promote your story with your assistance.
There is a detailed contract/agreement at each stage. So, if you would like to get your work off the shelf and in front of a whole new audience click on the “SCRIPT SUBMISSION” link below and let’s get started.
