FOX Writer's Initiative

NOTIFICATION UPDATE: This year's judging process was the most challenging in the history of the program. We had many more quality scripts submitted than we have slots funded in our budget. The Finalists for the 2008 edition of the program have all been notified as of today.

Thanks for your patience and participation in this year's submission process. Congratulations to all applicants on some excellent work!


Some Results...

  • In the 2006-07 season, we employed 8 Story Editors on FBC series whose first jobs were as Staff Writers under the Fox Diversity program.
