A break is not a career. It's a moment, and moments pass. The writers who build lasting careers aren't the ones who got lucky at the right time.
This live 75-minute workshop is about building readiness - the actual infrastructure of a screenwriting career.
You'll leave with:
- A 4-5 script portfolio strategy - what each script in your portfolio needs to do for you and how to know what you're missing
- The real rewrite sequence before a script is ready to submit - and how to tell "ready" from "tired of working on it"
- A ranked list of contests and fellowships actually worth your time and money and an honest read on what some platforms can and can't do for you
- The 4-step query process, in order of effectiveness, including how to build a target list, write a query a manager will actually open, and time it to the industry's real calendar (yes, there's a wrong month to query)
- A practical networking framework for writers who don't live in LA
If you're serious about your writing career, this workshop lecture will be helpful! And there will be plenty of time available for questions.
