Hello everyone, I am very new to the Screenwriting world. I have not written a script before and I am looking for someone to help me write a feature length script and potentially give me advice.

It probably will not be made. I would just like to write with someone for fun and to gain experience to maybe write professionally.

Like it says in the title, this will be a boxing movie. If anyone is interested please PM me.

Thank you.

Welcome to the wonderful, terrible, terrific, awful world of screenwriting. You're sure to have some fun/misery. :)

I feel it would be a disservice not to hit you with some truths right up front. Understand none of this is intended to be condescending. I'm just giving it to you straight. If it helps, great. If it doesn't ignore it.

Truth #1: Co-writing is a balancing act. Like a marriage, you complete each other. Where one writer is weak, the other writer is strong, and vice versa. Both bring something to the table. However...

Truth #2: Having no experience and having never written a script, you bring nothing to the table except your desire to write. But desire isn't enough. Lots of people WANT to write. Not all of them actually put in the work to learn how to do so. If you team up with someone, they're going to expect you to carry your own weight. If the other guy is doing all the work, he's going to lose patience with you and will likely drop you. Because...

Truth #3: Writers are divas. Every last one of them. If one writer is doing all the work, he's going to want all the credit. "I want to write a boxing movie" isn't enough. If it's on the other guy to come up with the story, and the characters, and the dialogue, that's not a collaboration. That's him writing his own script, and you wanting half the credit. A writer might be perfectly willing to help you learn the ropes, but no way in hell will he let you take any credit for his work.

My best advice to you would be to simply start your own script. You learn by doing; in doing, you gain experience; with experience comes confidence. It will be difficult at first, but eventually you'll get the hang of it. It could take three scripts, it could take fifty. Every writer progresses differently.

The good news is that as someone with no experience, you've come to the right place. That's what SS is for -- to help you learn how to write a script. Start by reading as many scripts here as you can, both pro and user-created. Learn from them. Apply what you learn to your own writing.

Remember the old adage: writers write. They don't think about writing. They don't contemplate writing. They sit down, the put their pencil to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and put what's in their head on the page.

Once you've gained some confidence and feel you have a good grasp on the basics, THEN advertise for a co-writer. Hell, you may even realize that you don't even want a co-writer.

Best of luck. Start writing! :)
