The Maverick Script Code is a practical, move‑by‑move system that turns the skills you were already born with into scripts producers and others can actually use – and pay for. There are also many kinds of new ways screenwriters can start to get paid… like micro-dramas and moves that they can make like finding an agent or manager in a faster and more effective way.


“Maverick Script Code is a little unorthodox but put it together after years of learning what works and what’s not so useful. It’s the best of the best tools out there plus a few cheat codes of my own.” 

 

Glen McCoy, Founder.

Glen didn’t ease his way into screenwriting – he was thrown in at the deep end and learned to swim fast. After landing a literary agent, he was commissioned by the BBC to write two episodes of a prime‑time drama series within just seven days, despite never having written a script before.

 

The episodes were produced, the shows went out, and he never looked back.


In the three decades since that first break, Glen has written for scores of television dramas - some iconic, been commissioned to write full‑length screenplays, and created hundreds of corporate scripts for some of the world’s largest and best‑known brands. Along the way he’s experienced the full spectrum of the writer’s life: hard deadlines, high‑stakes notes, blunt rejection, and the unforgettable moment of seeing his name on the credits for the very first time.


In recent years, he has distilled everything he’s learned into the Maverick Script Code – the simplest yet most comprehensive way he knows to go from idea to final draft. Designed for writers of any age or ability, it treats screenwriting as a craft most people are already 80% equipped for. The Code gives you the missing 20%: an easy‑to‑use toolkit built around an eye‑catching Actionboard template and a set of step‑by‑step action cards that help you harness the innate storytelling instincts you were born with and turn them into finished, commercially viable scripts.

Most screenwriting advice assumes you start from scratch. Maverick Script Code assumes the opposite. If you’ve spent years watching films and television, reading scripts, you already carry around most of what you need. What you’re missing isn’t more random tips – it’s a clear sequence of moves that takes you from idea to final draft, and from “aspiring” to professional.


Maverick Script Code gives you a practical Actionboard, simple card tools, and real‑world strategies that lead to getting paid -  drawn from three decades of professional screenwriting for prime‑time TV, corporate clients, and commissioned screenplays.

What is Maverick Script Code?

Maverick Script Code is a blueprint for writers who:

 

  • Haven’t yet been paid for their scripts – or not as often as they’d like.

  • Feel lost in a maze of books, gurus, and contradictory “rules.”

  • Want a lean, commercial approach that respects craft and treats writing as a commercial product.

 

Instead of drowning you in theory, the system guides you through 23 clear “moves” on an Actionboard – from your first spark of an idea all the way to a commercially‑viable saleable script.


Along the way you’ll develop four core pillars:

Who is it For?

Writers who start scripts but rarely finished them.

“Nearly there” writers who get good feedback but no money.

Late starters and career‑changers who don’t want to waste a decade figuring it all out for themselves. They want a hedge-cutter in a maze.

If you’re chasing a quick fortune or hoping AI will write the script for you, this probably isn’t your home. If you care about doing the work, maybe use AI like a mathematician uses a calculator, finishing strong and original and getting paid fairly for it – you’re in exactly the right place.

What is it Exactly?

A visual Actionboard that maps the journey of your script from first spark to finished draft.

A set of Action Cards that breaks each move into simple, concrete steps you can easily do.

A set of principles and tools drawn from over 30 years of professional screenwriting.
