Professional Scriptwriting Services

Here is how the work lines up. Scriptwriting in Canada operates inside a credit-and-rate ecosystem that touches every funding decision. Our writing rooms are credentialed through the Writers Guild of Canada (WGC) for English-language work — covering the Independent Production Agreement minimum scale, story-and-teleplay credits, and the Canadian-content scoring that CAVCO needs for 6-of-10 certification on CPTC tax-credit eligibility — and SARTEC plus UNEQ for francophone Quebec writing.

Development money flows through Telefilm Canada's Development Program, CMF's Convergent and Experimental envelopes, SODEC's aide à la scénarisation, Ontario Creates' Film Fund, and Creative BC's Project Development stream; each carries its own treatment, beat-sheet, and draft-delivery schedule that we map into the writer's room from day one.

Pitch sessions at TIFF Industry, Banff World Media, the Hot Docs Forum, and Whistler's Power Pitch are calibrated against the broadcaster slate at CBC, Radio-Canada, Crave, Bell Media, Corus, APTN, and the streaming commissioners — so a script that lands on the development executive's desk arrives pre-formatted to their template and slate strategy.

Our writers draw on Canada's literary canon as a generative reference shelf: Margaret Atwood's speculative architecture (Handmaid's Tale, MaddAddam, Alias Grace), Alice Munro's short-story-as-structure compression, Mordecai Richler's Montreal Jewish-anglo texture (Duddy Kravitz, Barney's Version), Michael Ondaatje's poetic line (English Patient), Yann Martel's Life of Pi, Anne Carson's verse, plus francophone heritage from Gabrielle Roy through Anne Hébert to Michel Tremblay.

Director-voice benchmarks track from David Cronenberg, Atom Egoyan, Sarah Polley (Women Talking 2022 Oscar), Denis Villeneuve, Denys Arcand (Barbarian Invasions Oscar), Xavier Dolan, Patricia Rozema, Deepa Mehta, Guy Maddin, and Zacharias Kunuk's Inuit cinema. Bilingual EN/FR script doctors handle Quebec-market dual-delivery where CMF or Radio-Canada commissioning needs it; indigenous-story consultation runs through imagineNATIVE, ITK, AFN, and MNC channels with cultural-sensitivity readers embedded in the room. All scripts ship in industry-standard formatting (Final Draft, WriterDuet, Fade In) with Canadian Screen Awards eligibility tracked alongside the credit ladder. Standard packages include three revision rounds; structural rewrites are scoped separately with WGC scale adjustments and Quebec equivalent rates baked into the budget.
