Learn how to market your script and build your career

So you’ve written a spec script. What’s next?

How to market your script? How to build your career?

Those are the precise topics in the newest Screenwriting Master Class course: “Network Hollywood.” Query letters, genre strategies, contests, working with managers and agents, choosing the right stories to write, virtually everything you need to know about taking the next step in your journey as a screenwriter.

Taught by Tom Benedek, this 2-week online class [July 25-August 6] features live webinars with 6 industry professionals: Peter Benedek [founding partner of United Talent Agency], Dan Halsted [manager-producer, Manage-Ment], Josh Heald [screenwriter, Hot Tub Time Machine], Sean Hood [screenwriter, Conan the Barbarian 3-D], Adam Kolbrenner [manager-producer, Madhouse Entertainment], Robert Lawrence [producer, Die Hard with a Vengeance], and Stanley Weiser [screenwriter, Wall Street].

Today we feature Peter Benedek:

Peter Benedek is one of Hollywood’s most powerful and influential agents, having served in such a capacity for close to 30 years. He rose to prominence within the Hollywood ranks when he teamed with ex-lawyer and current talent manager Marty Bauer to form the Bauer-Benedek agency in 1987. While that agency lasted successfully for over four years, both Bauer and Benedek decided to form a larger talent agency — and in 1991, the United Talent Agency was born. While Bauer stepped down as president in 1998 to start his own management outfit, Benedek serves as CEO of United Talent Agency to this day.

In addition to the live webinars and Q&A sessions with these industry insiders, the class also includes written lectures you can download, analyze, and keep for future reference, online forum discussions, and the opportunity to do weekly workshop assignments on your own stories and receive feedback from other writers participating in the class as well as Tom himself.

This is a terrific opportunity to shrink the gap between you and Hollywood.

The 2-week online class begins next Monday, July 25. For more information and to enroll, go here.
