A bi-annual online publication that features short stories, scripts, and films from storytellers around the world. We are looking for your most ambitious work. Surprise us, shock us, move us, and, above all, tell us a good story.

“For Page and Screen” began as a single-person blog run by writer/filmmaker Sarah Edmonds. 

We have since expanded to include a variety of voices from all different kinds of storytellers.

Our goal is to explore the creative process. To find similarities and differences in how we tell stories across genre and form.

Recently, we have added our very own literature and film magazine to the mix so that we can help to showcase amazing work from storytellers around the world.

We hope you’ll join us and maybe share a good story or two!
