The Emerging Writers Fellowship is designed to identify and cultivate new and unique voices with a passion for storytelling. It is looking for talented screenwriters who have the potential to thrive, but don't have access to or visibility within the industry. Writers chosen for the program will work exclusively with the studio for one year to hone their skills. During the paid fellowship program, fellows will be given the opportunity to work on current Universal projects and pitch original story ideas. More information.
