- All unproduced works listed must carry a valid script registration number.
- Please note that the information you supply on the submission form will be publicly visible. In order for interested parties to contact you, your email address will be in the public domain. You may choose to submit a mobile number as well, but do not need to do so.
- The WGSA cannot guarantee that listing your work will result in a sale or funding of any nature.

Submission Process
Before You Submit
There are a few things you need to know:
- Your script must have a unique title. If the title has been used already, the system will inform you of such. Please contact the WGSA Administrator.
- Before submitting, your work must be registered with our WGSA Script Registry or any other legitimate Script Registry. You will not be able to list your script without a script registration number.
- Make sure that you categorise your project correctly.
- The submission form requires a logline and short synopsis. Please prepare this before the time. To ensure that your work has a professional ring to it, spell check, grammar check and check punctuation before you submit it into the public domain. To develop a professional logline, you may use this guideline:
Ultimate Logline Guide:
“A hero with a flaw that keeps him/her from achieving a worthwhile goal, who is forced to respond to a life changing event instigated by an opponent, and in the process of responding to that life changing event with the help of an ally, the hero is forced to overcome his/her flaw and only then is s/he able to do one-on-one with the opponent to realize his/her goal.”

Logline | When his teenage son wakes up next to a murdered girl with no memory of what happened, an American father living under a false identity in South Africa makes the terrible decision to cover up the crime because of his own secrets that he needs to keep hidden. |
Elevator Pitch | Harlan Corben’s Stay Close meets How to Get Away with Murder. Will Jones is an American living in an idyllic, upper income small town in the Western Cape called Rainbows End with his two kids and his much younger fiancé. His life seems perfect until his teenage son wakes up next to the corpse of a young girl and no memory of what happened. Instead of going to the police however, Will makes the difficult decision to hide the body because he and his family are keeping a huge secret. They’re living in South Africa under false identities after Will had stolen millions of dollars from American mobsters. Will cannot risk this truth being exposed, so he disposes of the girls body. But this is only the beginning of his problems as a talented, relentless detective is closing in on him. And even more threatening, Will starts getting blackmailed. Someone knows what he has done. And they have evidence. Now Will may have to commit murder in order to keep his family safe. |
