Scribbling for Pay: Script Writer Business Card

A quick perusal of the writing jobs want ads will tell you that the call for television and film script writers is abundant. In an industry seeking fresh ideas and creativity, the talented nobody stands a good chance. Stand out from the rest of the aspiring scribes with professional business cards.

The script writer’s business card needs to balance creativity and professional experience. It must sell not only the writer but their writing. Careful attention to details such as formatting, font choices and spelling will go a long way to conveying the right impression. Avoid cliché images and designs and focus on creating a fresh confident business card that spells success.

Every script writer’s business card should include the following: whether they are a published author, what script writing associations they are affiliated with, where they went to school and the number of years they have been in the business. Be sure to include any website address that has examples of your script writing skills and as much contact information as possible.

Consider using writing related design templates and images rather than Hollywood or movie industry symbols and images on your script writer business card. This will help show you are a serious writer, interested more in your craft than in getting movie credits. Use imagery sparingly and concentrate on showing you are professional and experienced.

Choose arial or courier for the font on your script writer’s business card. This will remind potential employers of the script writing format and help convey your professional experience. Avoid illegible, flowery or complicated scripts and fonts.

Include your business card with any script submissions. Distribute at industry parties, to publishers and agents. Keep a few script writer business cards on your person, just in case that big break happens. You need to be ready!
