About
The Screenwriters Federation of America (formerly known as Screenwriters Guild of America) is a proactive federation of industry professionals united for the mutual aid and promotion of common interest. Our experience and expertise is derived from the collective wisdom of entertainment professionals from every arena, i.e., Screenwriters, Directors, Producers, Literary Agents, Managers, Educators, Authors, and Studio Executives. Screenwriters Federation of America is an autonomous organization with no official affiliation(s) with any other union, guild or governing body. As an autonomous organization, we feel that we can respond to our members more effectively by clearly establishing a unique re-branding and identity of our organization. Screenwriters Federation of America is the global portal for both professional and aspirant Screenwriters. Our interactive community stands ready to deliver professionally tailored resources and strategies for competing, surviving, and thriving in one of the most competitive industries in the world. In addition to providing personalized support and mentorship to our membership and Screenwriters worldwide, our primary focus is threefold:

To educate and incubate Screenwriters with their craft and the business at large.

To build a community for professional and impassioned Screenwriters to network with their peers and "pay it forward" to the next generation of Screenwriters.

To administer a Federation sanctioned, industry standard, free marketplace for professionally covered, greenlit scripts. See SFA's Greenlit Market for more info.

The SFA is proud of its proactive stance as a market maker in the spec script market worldwide. In the event Screenwriters Federation of America enables the eventual sale (or option for sale) of a project published traditionally (via SFA publications) or digitally (via SFA websites), the SFA will not collect any fees from the gross proceeds of any such sale. There are no commissions due SFA for any options or sales of literary works. Member or nonmember—it matters not. Screenwriters who have put in the work, paid the price and made the grade, deserve the opportunity to be read—one and all.

The Screenwriters Federation of America (SFA) is the resource for Screenwriters who are serious about success. Whether you're looking to sell your first script and quit your day job, or you're a working member of the filmmaking community, the SFA is a plethora of priceless knowledge and insight for the professional Screenwriter. Straight-up, it's one of the best investments you'll ever make on behalf of your screenwriting career. Join the Screenwriters Federation of America today. International applications welcomed.
