What kind of scripts? Like Scripts for like tv shows or commercials or short vids? I’d check out Upwork they sometimes have jobs for writing scripts for YouTube stuff. Stage32 also posts jobs for films and may need scriptwriters. Tv scripts I believe is much more connections based. Projects look for writers within their network so it’s a lot of networking perhaps with production companies and individuals.

My professor literally learned to write after he found out how much he could sell one for 😭 he has a phd in finance, makes millions of dollars on his real estate investments, and at the ripe age of 60, he decided to learn to write just to sell a script 😭

And then I believe you can go an agent route for writing scripts for larger shows and being staffed on a show - along with connections. I’ve also been told when networking send them a script you’ve written to have them read it/see your writing style so they can think of you later. Id love to be a script writer hence the resources but I’m missing a bunch I’m sure. really haven’t figured it out yet

Yeah course! It maybe a good place to start. Upwork had the most YouTube stuff, a lot of narratives for niche topics, horro, drama, or just researched topics that need to be written out in narrative form. Short sketches. Sometimes there’s a gem where someone needs a writer for a video game or something cool. J need to keep your eye out

Yes for the public but the people you’re working with would have to know your real name
