Update: The Quest

Last week, I posted this:

Next Monday, I will be announcing Go Into The Story: The Quest.

Bottom line: I will be looking to work with up to four writers in a 24-week Screenwriting Master Class intensive in which they will learn my comprehensive theoretical approach to the craft, then put that knowledge to use prepping and writing a full-length screenplay.

The cost? Nothing.

That’s right, a 6-month deep immersion in screenwriting theory and scriptwriting workshop where you end up with an original screenplay with me as your mentor for the entire process, and you don’t have to spend even a dime.

And if at the end of the process you have written a great script… you will have direct access to industry insiders.

Plus this little twist: Every single person who applies, even those who do not get selected for The Quest, will win something.

That’s the tease. Full details here on Monday, May 21.

Here’s how I’m going to handle the roll-out this week:

Tomorrow at 6PM Eastern / 3PM Pacific, I will post a formal announcement with complete details about The Quest.

Please note: I will not be accepting any submissions until Tuesday, May 29.

Why? I want to spend the week getting everyone in sync with my mindset on this project. To wit a series of daily posts (6PM Eastern / 3PM Pacific):

Monday, May 21: What is The Quest?

Tuesday, May 22: Why is story concept critical to your success?

Wednesday, May 23: Why do you need to think in terms of genres?

Thursday, May 24: Why is your passion for your story important?

Friday, May 25: How should you write a logline?

I want everyone who is planning on making a submission for The Quest to go through each of these posts with me. It’s my way of enabling you to do what I’m doing in the selection part of the process: Putting on my producer’s hat. If nothing else, you should benefit from this collection of posts to help balance out your creative aspirations with more of an understanding of the business of screenwriting.

I repeat: No submissions to me until Tuesday, May 29.

See you here tomorrow.
