Scribes
A film by Rusty Nixon (Antic Films)
 

     Shot during the 2003 Surrey International Writers' Conference, Scribes takes its audience through the basics of storytelling to the details and difficulties involved in being a professional writer. Viewers are given the inside scoop through workshops, keynote speeches, and one-on-one interviews with best-selling authors, powerhouse agents (including The August Agency's very own Cricket Freeman) and editors, producers, and publishers to find out what it takes to break into the field. Scribes is a humorous, honest, and sometimes painful look at the writing industry.
