Pitcheroo.org is for screenwriters who never had an in. No connects, favors, or industry uncle. Just dreams & determination.
We provide 100% free training resources and grants for screenwriters.
Pitcheroo was built on a simple belief: great stories can come from anywhere, and emerging writers deserve real opportunities to be seen. The Pitcheroo Screenwriter Grant is part of our ongoing effort to support fresh, original voices in film and television.
The grant provides $2,500 in unrestricted funding to an emerging screenwriter with the vision and drive to bring their stories to life.
At Pitcheroo, we believe every great film begins with a great script — and every great script begins with an opportunity. The Pitcheroo Screenwriter Grant awards $2,500 in unrestricted funds to one emerging screenwriter anywhere in the world to help fuel their next creative leap — whether that means finishing a draft, covering living expenses while writing, or pitching their dream project.
Applicants must be at least 18 years old, unrepresented (no current agent or manager), and have written at least one completed feature or pilot script. Applicants must have earned less than $10,000 USD from screenwriting in the past year. Writers from any country are welcome to apply, but all submissions must be in English.
Applicants will submit a two- to three-minute selfie-video pitch. In the video, writers should introduce themselves, share what they are working on, and explain how this grant would meaningfully help them advance their creative goals.
Submit your application to support@pitcheroo.com before January 15th, 2026.
Submissions will be evaluated on voice, clarity, vision, and purpose. Recipients are selected by the Pitcheroo Advisory Board, composed of working producers and screenwriters who champion emerging talent. The Board looks for authenticity, originality, and a motivated, driving creative intent.
The grant amount is $2,500 USD, awarded as an unrestricted cash grant. Funds will be disbursed via check, or wire transfer in USD.
Applications are accepted starting 12/1/25 until the January 15th, 2026 deadline.
