A Brand New Online Customer Service System -- Ease And Convenience For You

We have converted the Creative Screenwriting shopping cart system to a new online subscription and publication management system.  Now, you will be able to do all the following, 24 hours a day on line without having to worry about whether your email was received, no need to phone (unless you want to--we're still here) and all your online services --all from one web page:
  • Check the status of your subscription; see whether your payment was received
  • Start a new subscription or renew a current or lapsed subscription;
  • Add your email address and password for notice of the new issue and a simple, easy-to-remember login
  • Login by username/password, by account number, or the number of any current order of any publication
  • Change your address, phone, name, or other account information without waiting.
  • Download/go to all your digital publications and resources from one location-- no need to remember URLs
All these features are at one web location that you can either bookmark or find in one click from our home page.

We are still available and eager to help you in person.  But now you don't have to call or email and wait for a confirmation of an address change (you do it yourself online in the subscriber list and you see immediate confirmation), or seek help finding that lost digital publication URL.   You can find out the status of your subscription with a few clicks rather than an e-mail exchange, see whether your payment was received, and more.  

For example, when you receive a renewal notice, you can log in and see your account--even if you don't yet have an email address and password registered with us.  Just log in with the order number on the notice, then add a username and password so that we can send the notice that your digital magazine is on line.

Be sure to scroll to the bottom of this page to see all the extra resources you receive with your paper + digital + resources subscription.  More resources are coming.  U.S. subscribers, for this low price, these are helpful resources you won't want to be without.

Creative Screenwriting - Current Issue - Subscribe Now!
Creative Screenwriting exists to help you compete in this tough but lucrative business. Do you know which genres are hot? Which ones are warming up? Which agencies and managers are accepting new clients? What scripts individual producers are looking for, and how you can submit to them? Creative Screenwriting answers these questions for you in every issue, keeping you up to date with what's going on — who's buying, and what types of scripts are selling.

Exclusive interviews give you the inside story from Hollywood's top writers. Creative Screenwriting puts you into the toy chest room with Michael Arndt, takes you to New York to talk with William Goldman (Adventures in the Screen Trade) about working from afar, and gets inside the mind of Quentin Tarantino  — interviews you won't find anywhere else. Recent issues have carried interviews with Tim Kring (Crossing Jordan), Brad Bird on Ratatouille, Judd Apatow (40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up).

Each issue includes inside advice, including:

Agent’s Hot Sheet: interviews with a panel of screenwriters’ agents on the current market;
Our Craft: an in-depth focus on the details of how to write, from writer-teacher Karl Iglesias;
Legal Column: what you really need to protect yourself from, and how — and what you should worry about less than some writers do.

The time is right — the price is even better. Creative Screenwriting is a small investment in your career that could pay huge dividends.

You get so much more for just a few dollars more per year...
