The mission of the Virginia Screenwriters Forum is to bring writers together to share their love and knowledge of screenwriting by offering support and constructive feedback to members' scripts in progress. Our membership count averages up to thirty active screenwriters at any given time. We meet once a month, eleven times a year on the 3rd Saturday of every month. There is no December meeting. Meetings are held in the Third Floor North Education Center at the Dominion Arts Center (formerly Richmond Centerstage), 600 East Grace Street, Richmond, Virginia. During our meetings we critique 30 pages of two members’ scripts, or teleplay pages. In addition, each writer may do a table read of their 30 pages, presented by the VSF Actor’s Ensemble, consisting of some of Richmond’s finest actors. Aspiring writers or seasoned writers are always welcome to join us for up to three meetings before qualifying as a member. To become a full member, the writer must submit 30 pages of a feature film script to the VSF Reading Committee for consideration. We are not looking for Oscar caliber pages (although we’d be delighted to receive them!). Our purpose is to see if the writer has a basic understanding of the screenplay format and structure. Please note: the Reading Committee does not critique, or edit submission pages.
