12-Week Writers Group for Screenwriters
This workshop is
currently on hiatus. Sign up for our
mailing list to be advised of upcoming workshop dates.
How the Group
Works
We're excited to
again offer this unique opportunity to take part in our new 12-Week long writers group for
screenwriters. This writers group is for intermediate to advanced
screenwriters and is an opportunity for screenwriters to get ongoing
peer feedback on their works in progress in a setting that is moderated
by an experienced screenwriter who has also published books on
screenwriting.
On the first group
meeting, you are required to bring in an outline for your screenplay.
We will go over all outlines, and provide feedback and additional
direction if needed. Every ensuing week you are required to bring
in 10 pages that we will live read and give feedback on under the
guidance of your moderator. By the end of the 12 weeks, you should
have a complete first draft as well as a clear direction for your
rewrite.
This group is an
intense group that requires a commitment to bring in 10 pages a week.
If you are committed to completing your draft, then this is the group
for you.
