Randy Winston Will Oversee The Black List’s Expansion into Fiction
Randy Winston (Fiction ‘16), former director of writing programs at the Center for Fiction will oversee the Black List’s expansion into fiction, along with assembling a team of readers with publishing experience to help evaluate manuscripts.

The Black List was started in 2005 by Franklin Leonard to help find Hollywood’s best undiscovered writers. Films like “Spotlight,” “The King’s Speech,” and “Slumdog Millionaire” have all been found through the annual survey. Now the Black List is branching into another market where there is a big gap of undiscovered writers: publishing. Writers can share their manuscript on the Black List site where they can potentially get discovered by literary agents, editors, and publishers.
