Screenwriting Master Class tip of the week: We are rolling out a new screenwriting program for writers who are really serious about learning what it takes to craft a professional quality screenplay, then actually write one. At present, we are in test mode, working one-on-one with a handful of writers, but the response thus far has been very, very strong. What it is:

* A 25 week online screenwriting program that includes all 8 Core courses [Plot, Concept, Character, Style, Dialogue, Scene, Theme, Time), the popular one-week ?Pixar and the Craft of Storytelling? class, and both the Prep and Pages I workshops.

What you get is a comprehensive, coherent approach to screenwriting grounded in decades of experience writing in the trenches of Hollywood, then put that learning to use in workshops resulting in a completed script and a solid foundation of writing practices you can take with you for the rest of your life.

At present, we are only doing private one-on-one versions of the program and running an introductory special price. If you are interested, contact me: scott at screenwritingmasterclass.com.
