American Screenwriters Association

About Me

The American Screenwriters Association™ (ASA) is the world's leading professional association organized for educational purposes, including the promotion and encouragement of the art and craft of screenwriting. A non-profit 501(c) 3 organization, ASA is committed to the international support and advancement of all screenwriters. We welcome interested individuals from around the world who are pursuing the writing of documentaries, educational films, feature films, television, and even large screen format (Omnimax ™, IMAX ™) films.

ASA exists to serve the largest, most under-represented writer's population today...the hundreds of thousands of screenwriters who are diligently working to write and sell their film and television scripts, or are currently working in film or television and looking to advance their careers.

Today, the American Screenwriters Association has an international membership of more than 30,000 members located throughout the United States, Europe, the Pacific and the Middle East in 40 countries and 1059 cities! We accomplish our mission by providing writers with practical resources, networking opportunities, and services and programs that enhance their skills.

We have worked, and will continue to work, with many of the leading screenwriters and industry professionals including Gary Ross Seabiscuit, Big, Dave, Pleasantville, Aaron Sorkin The West Wing, An American President, A Few Good Men, Sports Night, Shane Black Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout, Terry Rossio and Ted Elliot Pirates of the Caribbean, Shrek, The Mask of Zorro, Aladdin, Syd Field, Linda Seger, Michael Hauge, Lew Hunter, Richard Walter and too many more to name here.

Finally, we believe that screenwriters should be committed to the advancement of the art and craft of screenwriting and their screenwriting skills, as well as the improvement of the community at large through their writings and personal activities.
