Screenwriting is a freelance profession that does not require any formal education. Screenwriters contract their services and are not regular employees. Most screenwriters start their careers by writing speculative scripts without being paid in hopes of selling their work, which if successful is called a spec script. Professional screenwriters are typically represented by a talent agency and do not usually work without pay, unlike amateur screenwriters who may write for free to gain experience.

Screenwriting is a freelance profession, No education would be
needed to become a professional screenwriter, just goodstory
telling abilities and imagination. Screenwriters are not hired
employees, they are contracted freelancers. Most, if not all,
screenwriters start their careers writing on speculation, meaning
they write without being hired or paid for it. If such a script is sold, it
is called a spec script. What separates a professional screenwriter
from an amateur screenwriter is that professional screenwriters are
usually represented by a talent agency. Also, professional
screenwriters do not often work without being paid; whereas
amateur screenwriters will often work for free and are considered
"writers in training". The screen writing profession is difficult as
anyone can write a script but with talent and the write agency
representing you, you are more likely to be noticed.
