The screenwriter creates the bridge between a story idea from a book or retelling of real events.

Spend some time admiring those behind the stories on National Screenwriters Day!

Since the dawn of movies, screen writers have existed almost continuously. Georges Melies was the first screenwriter to be acknowledged. He wrote the 1902 movie, A Trip to the Moon. Screenwriters have worked their creative magic ever since to create a foundation for movies, television shows, and other media.

These screenwriters are also known as screenwriters. They use their writing skills and imagination to help readers understand and create the emotions and setting for a story. In order to make a television or film appealing to viewers, screenwriters collaborate with producers and directors.

ScreenwritingU established the first National Screenwriters Day in 2016 to recognize the genius and talent of screenwriters. National Screenwriters Day is an annual celebration that honors those who make the screen stories come to life.
