We are happy to answer any questions about Script Frenzy or the Young Writers Program:

 

History and Statistics

Script Frenzy is run by The Office of Letters and Light, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Berkeley, CA. We also put on National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo).

The Young Writers Program was founded in 2005, in response to the countless teachers who wrote in wanting to bring our model of creative writing to the classroom.

The Young Writers Program provides free Common Core-adapted curricula and student workbooks for all grade levels, as well as classroom kits to all educators teaching the program. Kids and teens also participate independently through our motivational, community-based website.

In 2011, the Young Writers Program counted:

  • 110 participating classrooms
  • 3,000 registered writers and educators
  • 6,000 total reach (comprising classroom participants + independent users)

In 2012, Script Frenzy and the Young Writers Program expect to welcome over 30,000 authors writing scripts in April.
