Learn What's Selling Now
2026 is officially the Year of the Spec. After years of dwindling sales, Hollywood is once again opening its wallets for original, unpackaged scripts—but only if you’re writing what they’re actually buying.
The Problem: Market Blindness:
Most writers are still submitting ‘passion projects’ from 2023. In the 2026 landscape, the distance between a ‘Pass’ and a ‘Sale’ is often just a matter of genre alignment. Are you writing an actionable script, or a relic?
The Solution:
“What’s Selling Now” is your genre-by-genre map of the 2026 marketplace. I’ve decoded the buying patterns of the major studios to show you why Thrillers and High-Concept Horror are currently crushing the box office while traditional dramas are stalling.
