This is an introductory workshop for any person interested in writing for TV (and Film) with a particular focus on strategies that might help to break-in, and helping develop an appreciation for what it can take to foster a career as a screenwriter.

This group should be writers of fiction, drama, and poetry.  Since most creative ideas for writers come from within us, we have found that regular writing of a diary, a journal, or of memoirs, is a vital part of creative writing. By writing memoirs, or keeping a journal/diary, we tap into the vast creative storehouse of our memory on a regular schedule.   We should meet weekly and each member should be prepared to read his or her week's memoir or journal, usually about 500 to 2,000 words. We wil …

Any of this sound familiar?

So if you believe that there's more to writing at a professional level than following rules such as on page 75 someone needs to die, or the inciting incident must happen on page 17, t …
