The Spec Script Strategy

How to choose the right project for the spec script that will serve as a writing sample

The Strategy

The spec script strategy -- the decision about which project to write as the writing sample that will represent the writer to the agents, managers, and development executives who evaluate writing talent through writing samples -- is the career decision that many aspiring screenwriters make without the specific market intelligence that the decision requires.

The Framework

The framework for the decision: a spec script should demonstrate the specific skills that the writer most needs to demonstrate at the specific career stage they are at. The early-career writer who needs to demonstrate they can write needs a spec that is structurally sound and contains the specific elements that make an agent willing to represent the writer. The writer who has representation and needs to break into television staff writing needs a specific sample that demonstrates television voice.
