Screenwriting Master Class tip of the week: I designed The Quest as a private screenwriting workshop for writers who are serious about learning the craft. To my knowledge, there is nothing equivalent to this 24-week screenwriting intensive. 8 weeks of theory [Core], 6 weeks of wrangling a story [Prep], 10 weeks of pounding out a first draft [Pages]. An exclusive group of writers has enrolled in The Quest to learn key principles and practices of what it takes to succeed as a professional screenwriter combined with writing a full-length original screenplay, all with my personal feedback and mentoring.

I have one slot left for 2012. If you are interested, go here to learn more about this exciting opportunity.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
