The Black List has recently announced a groundbreaking partnership with Onyx Collective to bring unpublished manuscripts to the forefront of the entertainment industry. This initiative offers a unique opportunity for fiction writers to have their work considered for a film or TV adaptation through an 18-month option deal.
