The World's First Script Megastore
Read, buy and sell to help make screenwriting a viable career.
The trusted tech stack we use to run everything smoothly and securely
Screenwriting will break your artistic heart...
It’s a terrible industry that hurts everyone in the long term.
You pay to have your work read
No other art or product requires you to pay to have your consumed. You've written something, you ship it to the world and people buy. That's how it works for everything else. Why not screenwriting?
Competitions cost an arm and a *huge* leg
Want to actually get an agent? Want to finally see reward for your work. That's no problem at all... except competitions will cost you 30-100 dollars just to enter. You're then pitted against thousands of writers hoping the right reader enjoys your work.
Screenplays are 'blueprints'
I mean, technically they are. But... they're equally a piece of art, work that should be valued properly. They can be read and they can be enjoyed. They don't just have to be a prop for the lighting department.
Your odds are so terribly low...
Want to get an agent? Want to see reward for your work? That's no problem at all... except you're then pitted against thousands of writers hoping any random reader enjoys your work.
We're here to make a significant change.
We’re in our early stages, but we want to make screenwriting a more accessible, more valuable and more enjoyed art form.
Turn screenplays into a commodity
If we create great work, we deserve to be compensated. Like any great book, a script can be enjoyable, exciting and worth the small price.
Drive momentum. Make money
The only way to get the attention of agents is spending money on schemes. Instead, build a reputation as you start making a profit.
Turn it into more than 'just' a hobby
Screenwriting, like any other art form, should be a viable career. If it's just the top 1% we miss out on so many great ideas and many great writers.
Bring power to your work
I can read any Oscar, Emmy or BAFTA award-winning script online for free. Scripts take work, if we see no value in them, no one will...
Getting started couldn't be easier!
We're very very lazy! We can't make this too tricky, there's so much going on, who has time to go through a huge set-up process? We ain't IKEA (unfortunately).
Create your account
Name, email, password. The 3 account amigos. That's all you need. We're not here to find out your favourite cheese and whether you like Miami.
Get Confirmed
You know the drill. We need to make sure that you're not a robot or some kind of lunatic. You'll get an email, there will be a button and you do the rest.
Upload your Script
The moment you've waited for. But, this uploading process sounds seriously complex and troublesome. But... It's not! Learn more here!
Join the Movement
You are done! You have joined! We promise we're not a cult, but we are changing tides. We're basically the moon.
Sell with total confidence
You are right to not trust us without more evidence. We've done our best to make Specc as helpful and easy to use as possible.
Your script, your property
You still keep 100% of the copyright to your screenplay. You have the same rights as any online piece of content.
Keep 90% of each sale
We only take 10% of each purchase. It's your work after all. We're not greedy.
A secure checkout system
We use Stripe, the most trusted and used payment processing system online. Look over their credentials here.
E-commerce features to help get eyes on your script!
We want to help you in every way we can. We may be the best people on the internet, you should tell people how nice we are.
Top Scripts
The best of the week, the best of the month, even the best of the year. So many lists, so much time!
Ratings
Reviews by your peers mean much more than paid reads. Use the power of people to get your script out there.
Genre Specific
Join your fellow stylistic writers and find that niche audience who love Italian Romance Horror.
Related
Love a script about a goose serial killer. Fantastic, we'll have plenty of non-vegan-friendly recommendations.
Not a writer? Not a problem!
That's totally fine! We need readers just as vitally as we need writers. For a small fee (equal to or less than a cup of coffee) you can read great screenplays wherever you are!
Frequently Asked Questions
You'll have many questions, hopefully this will help. If it doesn't, we apologise and will provide a virtual carrot cake.
Other marketplaces are there to try and get your scripts bought as part of a production or as an option (where they own the rights for a year). However, this means only a very few select scripts are bought as the prices can hit up to six figures. We want people to pay to read, not pay to own the rights. That comes later (hopefully)!
Well, it depends. If it's from a book or piece of art in the public domain, then yes, you can. However, anything based on copyrighted IP is not allowed to be uploaded. But, all your fun, intriguing original ideas should be uploaded ASAP.
It's early days, but, currently, a short script will cost £0.99. A sitcom (or 30-minute pilot) will cost £1.99. 60-minute pilot's will be £2.99 and features will be £4.99. This may change, so keep your eyes peeled and your ears equally peeled.
There are no refunds for script purchases. However, before every purchase you get to read the first ten percent of the screenplay (3 pages for a 30-page pilot for example) before you commit to buying. So, if you're hooked early on, you know it's worth going for.
YESSSSSS! Upload as many scripts as you like! The more the merrier. If they're of top quality you'll now have multiple revenue streams. ISN'T THAT MEGA EXCITING!
