How can you start as a Script Writer?

For being a good and recognized script writer it is advised to have a bachelor's or master's degree in fine arts, as it will create a base for you. Once you have your degree, this journey of creating quality content, one should look for motivation in the outside world, one needs to educate himself/herself first as creative content needs a basis. Read books about Scriptwriting many think that writing a script is easy but once you enter the profession you realize that conveying your thoughts is way hard than you think it is. Take criticism positively and focus as much as you can, to make a creative script.

What are the challenges of being a Script Writer?

Most of the newcomers have complained that no one replies and even consider their content. They have to realize that people in the film industry need to trust whoever they work with, so it would be hard initially to present your content and yourself to the filmmakers. You will feel like even after having a qualification, you are not considered and aren't able to get recognized but patience is the number one requirement for a scriptwriter, you'll have to approach to every filmmaker possible and just never give up on yourself and your creativity, the quality of your content would also be questioned in this journey, but all it matters is to believe in yourself and take criticisms positively.
