SPRING Cleaning
for Writers
How many scripts or manuscripts have you finished? How many first drafts have you started? Which of your scripts have you submitted to which producers/publishers? Where are all your ideas you have yet to write? How many places have you submitted your work to in the past 12 months? What are the reoccurring themes in your work? Which of your projects are low budget vs ultra low budget? Which literary magazines or production companies are right for your projects? Which of your scripts are centered around a strong female lead? How many projects are you scheduled to complete this year? How many ready-to-pitch projects do you actually have?
If you find yourself unsure or overwhelmed by these questions, it's a clear sign that it's time to take control of your writing life and get organized. Just like a professional organizer can transform a cluttered space into a harmonious environment, organizing your writing process can lead to increased efficiency, productivity, and effectiveness. If you think getting organized and knowing the answer to these question will help you please join us for our one day spring cleaning for writers class. |

TV VS FILM
SERIALIZED VS SINGULAR STORYTELLING Which form is most effective for your story?During this three-hour class, we will delve into the psychology of both forms of storytelling to uncover the secrets behind their powerful effect on viewers. We will explore the differences between serialized storytelling, commonly found in TV shows, podcasts, franchises, and singular storytelling, typically used in films.
Gain a deeper understanding of what makes each form of storytelling effective and how you can harness these techniques to decide which form is more effective for your story and how to fulfill the requirements for each. Our curriculum is designed to help you tap into your creativity while also giving you a solid foundation in the principles of storytelling. We believe that the most effective stories are those that are built to support the unique voice of each writer. We will never tell you what to write, but we can help you find the most effective approach. This class is perfect for writers, filmmakers, and anyone who is passionate about storytelling and wants to understand why audiences turn to serialized vs singular storytelling experiences. Whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned pro, you'll find our class to be a refreshing and unique approach to storytelling. |

NETWORKING TECHNIQUES FOR INTROVERTS or WRITERS WHO HATE "SELLING"
Is networking and pitching your least favorite part of being a writer? Do you wish you had an actionable approach to make networking work more for you? If so, please join us for our upcoming Networking Class! In this one-day workshop, you will learn simple and approachable techniques to help you network more often, effectively, and with less anxiety. Just a few months after taking this class last year one of our writers wrote in to tell us she had done everything we suggested in the workshop and had already got an option for her screenplay! It takes a community to get anything done in this industry, and that's what networking is about; finding the community that will help you accomplish your artistic dreams. |

"I was amazed not only at the number of tools I learned but the psychology behind them. I've read every book on screenwriting and felt overwhelmed with what I was 'supposed' to do on the page. I was tired of following someone else's path; it felt forced. This class gave me tools I could actually use on all my scripts. Jess helped me understand the psychology of how a reader reads a script vs how an audience watches TV and unconsciously what brings an audience back to a show. This has changed my career."
