The Columbus Review positions itself as a venue for scriptwriting that resists conventional boundaries. This call seeks work that operates at the intersections of form: one-act plays, short screenplays, hybrid scripts, and excerpts from larger works. The emphasis on 'innovative, boundary-pushing' signals a curatorial appetite for writing that challenges the norms of stage and screen, whether through structure, voice, or medium. The review's commitment to blind submissions further indicates a focus on the work itself, stripped of biographical context or reputation. While no payment is currently offered, the journal acquires First North American Serial Rights, a standard arrangement for literary magazines that allows the work to appear in print or online for the first time in North America. This is a no-fee opportunity, removing financial barriers for emerging and established writers alike. The rolling deadline suggests an ongoing conversation rather than a single competition, inviting scripts that resonate with the review's evolving editorial vision. The requirement for standard script format (Courier 12 pt, 1-inch margins) and a 20-page limit underscores a respect for the conventions of the craft while demanding concision. Up to two scripts may be submitted in a single .docx or .pdf file, and previously unpublished work is mandatory. This is not a venue for excerpts from already produced films or staged plays; it is a space for new writing that has yet to find its audience.
