Our Story

Founded by Erik Bauer in 1994, Creative Screenwriting has grown into the premiere magazine for screenwriters.

During the 90s we were a printed magazine, publishing 25,000 copies six times a year.

In the new millenium we launched the Screenwriting Expo, which in 2006 attracted over 5,000 writers, and resulted in our still-popular Screenwriting Expo DVD series, now also available for streaming.

Today, Creative Screenwriting operates exclusively as a web magazine, bringing you articles from screenwriting journalists in Hollywood and around the world.
