How to approach
Their guidelines state that MBA is not currently accepting unsolicited film and television submissions and ask you to check back.
The trap on this page is the book department sitting directly below. It has its own submission route and its own eight-week response rule, and neither applies to screen. A screenwriter working from the wrong half of the page will follow live instructions to a closed door.
The PreList verdict
Who this is for: nobody on the screen side today. The book side is a different question and a different department.
The reason to record a closed door this precisely is that closure is department-specific and temporary. When MBA reopens for screen it will be on this page, and the writers who benefit will be the ones who knew which half of it to read.

Frequently asked questions
Is MBA accepting screenwriting submissions?
Not at the last check. Their guidelines state MBA is not currently accepting unsolicited film and television submissions.
Does their eight-week response time apply to screenwriters?
No. That figure belongs to their book submissions route, which is separate from the screen department.
