Deadline Junkies is a dynamic and inclusive workshop for screenwriters in Sherman Oaks, CA, dedicated to helping both emerging and professional writers develop their craft and advance their careers. With a focus on fostering diverse and multicultural voices, Deadline Junkies provides a supportive environment where writers present their work for cold readings by professional actors and receive constructive feedback on various aspects of their scripts, including craft, structure, voice, and inclusivity awareness.
Founded in 2009 by writer-director Adam Strange, Deadline Junkies has grown into a thriving community of over 150 writers, actors, and content creators, offering five weekly groups that specialize in different genres. While actors and auditors can participate for free, writers on rotation pay monthly dues to cover the cost of the workshop's theater rental space. With a commitment to building a more inclusive Hollywood, Deadline Junkies actively contributes to the industry by calling scripts in and providing valuable feedback on cultural stereotypes, blindspots, and inappropriate content.
