We’re Here For You.
Phoenix Screenwriters Association Inc., (PSA) is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization, whose mission is to help screenwriters and filmmakers hone their skills by providing interactive and inspirational training events and supportive networking opportunities with others in the industry. Phoenix Screenwriters Association started in 2009 as a small writers group on meetup (still active) and quickly grew into Arizona’s preeminent screenwriters’ organization. In 2016, we became a non-profit 501(c)(3) which has opened the door to allowing us to offer more for our members. With our dedicated Board of Directors and Officers, and a committed base of volunteers, we have a great group dedicated to bringing education to the Valley. Our goal is to educate our local screenwriters and filmmakers and help them achieve their dream.
