Variety’s 10 Screenwriters to Watch for 2023

Plus links to Variety’s annual list dating back to 2008.

From Variety:

In a year in which evaluating the contributions of writers became a major point of contention across the entertainment industry, Variety is especially pleased to announce its list of 10 Screenwriters to Watch. Some among them are scribes whose work has already made waves — cultural as much as commercial — with others on the precipice of transforming this year’s awards season and the broader landscape of film for years to come. Though the Writer’s Strike prevented an in-person celebration of their considerable talents, we’re thrilled to present the screenwriting class of 2023, in print and online.

Here is the list of writers:

• Rebecca Angelo and Lauren Schuker Blum (“Dumb Money”)
• Julian Breece (“Rustin”)
• Marcus Gardley (“The Color Purple”)
• Rose Gilroy (“Project Artemis”)
• Tasha Huo (“Red Sonja”)
• Justin Kuritzkes (“Challengers”)
• Andrew Lopez (“CrushCrushCrush”)
• Megan McDonnell (“The Marvels”)
• Justin Piasecki (“Relay”)
• Rob Yescombe (“Grand Death Lotto”)
