Is it possible to sell a story concept to a script company and get story credit?

Question by mixeddudetx: Is it possible to sell a story concept to a script company and get story credit?
I want to write scripts, but some I know I won’t be able to produce on my own or sell. But I was wondering if it’s possible to sell a story concept and get credit for it?

Yes, it is possible – but likely as not you would be paid off rather than be credited.

You should look into writing your own scripts, though. Studios will also pay for a script that they like in concept and want re-written by more experienced professionals; best case scenario, someone might want to use a lot of your original and you’ll be co-credited for the writing.

Best of luck!
