By Admin · January 14, 2021

Stowe, VT, January 14, 2021: Stowe Story Labs and Coverfly are pleased to announce an extension of their partnership through Coverfly’s Writer Success Program. This program was built by Coverfly to support top up-and-coming projects and writers who are ready to get signed, staffed, and packaged. Starting in 2021, Stowe will refer up to 15 alumni to the program annually.

The team at Coverfly will provide outreach, support, consultation, and career strategy to the referred Stowe participants. They will build a customized outreach and career strategy based on each writer’s goals, strengths, relationships, and current standing.

Now in its 9th year, Stowe Story Labs offers labs, retreats, and mentoring to top emerging screenwriters, filmmakers, and creative producers to get work made and seen. Stowe’s 4-day intensive Narrative Lab is the cornerstone of Stowe’s programming. Held annually in June at the Helen Day Art Center in Stowe, Vermont, the Lab brings selected participants together with top industry mentors to workshop, collaborate, network, pitch, and demystify the international film and television industry. Stowe’s Writers’ Retreats provide small groups of writers some workshop content, but the focus of the program is on 1-on-1 script notes meetings with three different industry mentors.

Coverfly is the entertainment industry’s leading screenwriting talent-discovery platform. Coverfly aggregates data on over 50,000 writers from dozens of top writing competitions, fellowships, labs and festivals, and allows that data to be searched by industry professionals, such as agents, managers, producers and development executives, who are looking for great screenplays and unique writing talent.

Coverfly is excited about this opportunity as they value the level of work and talent that come through the Stowe Story Labs and feel this program will better support emerging writers who are often barred from the entertainment industry.

“We have very much enjoyed working with the team at Coverfly,” said David Rocchio, Director of the Labs. “We appreciate what they bring to our participants and their willingness to support emerging writers at this point in their career. We look forward to deepening our relationship with Coverfly through this partnership.”

“Our mission is to support top emerging writers in this industry,” said Tom Dever, Head of Writer Success at Coverfly. “We value the alumni of Stowe Story Labs and are excited to dive in and help support their careers.”
