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 recording of Workshop 05 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
