What are the qualifications of your professional readers?
All Black List readers have exhaustive industry experience, having worked at least one year, full-time, as, at minimum, assistants focused on the formats and genres that they are approved to evaluate as readers - and we hire fewer than 20% of applicants with that minimum experience.
They are further vetted based on their knowledge of current submission trends and the market landscape of their industries. Additionally, their work is monitored so that we are better able to maintain the standard of excellence that has distinguished the Black List since its inception.
