Free Screenwriting Resource: 200+ Story Ideas
Every April for 7 years, I have run a monthly series: A Story Idea Each Day for a Month. Over the course of 12 months, I’ll flag 30 story ideas I find in my daily trek through all of my news sources and write posts about them. And here’s the thing: I give them away for free. If you like any of the ideas, they are yours to use however you like.
I run the series every year to drive home this point:
YOU NEED TO WRITE SCRIPTS WITH THE STRONGEST STORY IDEAS POSSIBLE!!!
You can write a spec screenplay that is professional in every way, yet if the story concept is a mediocre or even average one, chances are extremely slim that script will sell.
You have to look everyday and everywhere for the very best story ideas.
Here are links to 7 years worth of story ideas. Over 200 of them. Free for you to adopt and adapt however you’d like!

Each day in October, I’m going to highlight a screenwriting resource available on the blog. Why? Because with over 20,000 posts and 80+ archived topics, I want to make sure readers are aware of the many assets available here for reading and research. And they are all free!
