"TwelvePoint.com" describes itself as "Insider knowledge and networking for screenwriters" and it delivers exactly what it says on the box.

I recommend any aspiring screenwriter to join this community - and to subscribe to the online magazine if possible. After exploring the site with a view to writing this blog post and adding TwelvePoint.com to the links page, I spent some time exploring the site and was excited and impressed by what I saw there - I am now a member.

TwelvePoint.com can speak best for itself - the following brief description and mission statement are taken directly from the site :


TwelvePoint.com evolved from ScriptWriter magazine, Europe’s leading journal on writing for the screen.

In July 2008 the magazine moved from print to an online format. This provided the opportunity to include features that weren’t possible in a periodical published six times a year, such as news, a searchable database of articles and members’ profiles. We also wanted to make it easier and more cost-effective for a wider audience of writers and all involved in making films to access the information.

Since its launch, TwelvePoint.com has built up a fantastic community of members from all over the world. In an average week we are visited by writers and filmmakers from more than 40 countries.

The same editorial team remains in charge and maintaining the same high quality of content is still their number one priority.


TwelvePoint.com have an exciting mission for writers

There are few resources available for writers that combine high-quality analysis and discussion of the writer’s craft with expert business advice. And there is no facility that delivers rich content in a community where members can network with their peers and learn from a wide range of industry professionals.

TwelvePoint.com does all of these things. Based on the highly-praised ScriptWriter magazine, our mission is to provide writers and those who work with them with a valuable knowledge base and their own professional and social network. The aims of TwelvePoint.com are:

  • to become the world’s leading, industry-recognised and supported resource for those who are serious about a career in writing;
  • to kick-start the process of changing the way in which writers are perceived and the way in which they perceive themselves, encouraging them to see writing as a business involving creativity rather than as just a creative activity;
  • to give writers a professional advantage by providing expert, responsive advice on the craft and business of writing;
  • to offer writers an environment in which they can develop the knowledge, skills, motivation and contacts that will support them at every stage in their careers.

TwelvePoint.com is friendly, supportive, expert, honest, professional, interactive, innovative and enlightening. How well it works for you will depend not just on the TwelvePoint.com team delivering high-quality content but on how much you interact with fellow members and contributors. Please write to editor@TwelvePoint.com and tell us what you think about the site and what you need to assist you in your professional career.
