This year, we’re going all out for our Screenwriting Craft Symposium, with an entire day’s worth of panels full of exciting guests:
- John August and Craig Mazin, who will record an episode of their SCRIPTNOTES podcast at the event — and take questions from all of you;
- Travis Beacham (writer, PACIFIC RIM);
- Karl Gajdusek (writer, OBLIVION);
- Evan Daugherty (writer, the upcoming KILLING SEASON starring Robert De Niro)
- Edward Ricourt (writer, NOW YOU SEE ME);
- Franklin Leonard, founder of The Black List;
- Greg Beal, director of the Academy Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting;
- Matt Dy, Screenplay & Teleplay Competition Director for the Austin Film Festival.
- And more!
We’re still bringing more panelists on board, so check back here for updates.
The Early Bird discount is still available. So get your tickets now!
Quite a lineup! Also note the event is sponsored by the Black List.
Tickets cost $85 and you can purchase them here.
But Franklin has some free tickets he’s giving away and here is how you can be eligible to get one:
In comments, post a question you would want asked to any of the participants on the panels during the event.
Now is your chance to ask something of importance about the craft to screenwriters John August, Craig Mazin, Travis Beacham, Karl Gajdusek, Evan Daugherty, or Edward Ricourt. Or perhaps you have something interesting to ask Franklin, Greg Beal or Matt Dy about screenwriting competitions.
Come up with a great question, post it in comments, and if Franklin likes your question, 5 lucky people will not only win a free ticket to the event, Franklin will make sure your questions are raised at the session.
I’ll give you until midnight tomorrow (Friday) to get in your questions.

UPDATE: Any fans of the movie Ghost? Written by Bruce Joel Rubin, it was a huge hit when it was released in 1990. The good folks at the Writers Guild Foundation have sent me some exclusive content related to Rubin’s scripting process including the earliest notes he had on the idea as well as some treatment excerpts. Exciting stuff and I will feature that tomorrow!
