By the Way, How Are You Doing with Your Screenplay?...

Won't it feel great to type THE END when you complete your next screenplay? I facilitate a writers program called Screenplay-in-a-Month to propel writers to complete their screenplays. This is no dry theory course to teach you how to write, although we'll do a quick review.

This program will help you roll up your sleeves and build your enthusiasm to quickly finish writing your screenplay. Together we'll overcome any writers blocks you encounter. And, you'll get frequent reminders to meet you page quota so YOU'LL FINISH.

No classes to attend. All individual interaction. Open to writers at all levels. Whether you have no idea what to write or you've been trying to finish the same screenplay for years, you can write a screenplay in one month. You can start anytime. The best time is NOW! $299.
