Scriptwriter Services
Compelling narratives from the land of storytellers, drawing on Ireland's unrivalled literary tradition.
A scriptwriter crafts the screenplay that serves as the blueprint for an entire production, creating dialogue, structure, and character arcs that drive the narrative. Ireland's storytelling tradition is among the world's most celebrated, from the oral seanchai tradition through literary giants like Joyce, Beckett, and O'Casey to contemporary screenwriters behind The Banshees of Inisherin, Normal People, and Bad Sisters. Irish writers bring an innate command of dialogue, character, and emotional truth to every project.
We connect you with scriptwriters who work in English and Irish (Gaeilge), essential for both domestic productions under Screen Ireland and the international co-productions that Ireland's Section 481 tax credit attracts. Our network includes professionals experienced in features, episodic television, short-form content, and commercial scripts, ready to collaborate with your creative team from concept through final polish.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Irish storytelling traditions inform your writers?
Irish screenwriting grows from the world's richest literary tradition, combining the seanchai oral tradition, theatrical mastery of dialogue from Synge to McPherson, and the contemporary Irish screen renaissance. Our writers bring an instinctive command of language and character that is distinctively Irish.
Can your scriptwriters work in Irish (Gaeilge)?
Yes. While most of our writers primarily work in English, we have access to Irish-language writers for TG4 content and bilingual productions. Ireland's growing Irish-language media sector means there is increasing demand for Gaeilge-capable scriptwriters.
How do your writers capture authentic Irish dialogue?
Irish English has a distinctive rhythm, vocabulary, and wit that sets it apart from American or British English. Our scriptwriters understand these nuances and can write dialogue that sounds authentically Irish, whether for a Dublin crime drama, a rural comedy, or a period piece.
How do you match a scriptwriter to my production?
We consider your project's genre, tone, format, and development stage, then recommend writers whose portfolios and voice align with your creative vision. Whether you need a writer to develop an original concept or polish an existing draft, we match the right talent to your needs.
