EWC'S
MATCHMAKING PLATFORM

Welcome to our new EWC Writers platform. It is a meeting place for writers working in scripted storytelling for TV series, feature films and other formats.

Create your account and start connecting with other creatives around Europe

We have created this platform for our current pilot session, Bridging Generations.

On the EWC Writers platform, writers can create profiles, upload ideas and projects, be inspired by one another, and find partners to work with across Europe and across generations. This is the place for you to find a writing partner to team up with and apply for our next session, Bridging Generations.

Bridging Generations encourages teams consisting of a young experienced writer (aged 38 and under) and an older experienced writer (aged 39 and above), and with an age gap of at least 10 years, to submit a concept for a TV series in early stage of story development that they find important and want to tell together. We are looking for stories that have the potential to cross borders in Europe and connect audiences across generations. The deadline for applying to Bridging Generations is 31 December 2024.

All writers who sign up for our platform will be screened before being granted access. This is to ensure that all writers meet our criteria of being professionals working in the field of scripted storytelling in Europe. See below.

It works like this...

Once you have been accepted to create a profile, you can test some of your stories or ideas with the other writers on the platform to give them an idea of who you are and what stories you like working on. 

 

You can also start searching for other writers. If you find them and their ideas or projects interesting, you can make a request to contact them directly. If they accept your request, you will sign an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) for their projects to protect the writers' copyright, and you can then start sharing thoughts, ideas and projects. Of course, this also is the case if they request to contact you. â€‹

We hope that you will find this platform interesting and useful. We have created it for you as writers and creators. Our goal is that one day, we can open this platform to producers and decision-makers in their search for good stories or a writer to join their projects. For us, it is all about creating stories together.
