Our professional instructors have successfully guided writers in developing scripts for film and television.

Scriptwriting Essentials will offer tips on pitching your script to such major content platforms as OWN, Netflix, Lifetime and HBO. You will learn how to write strong and richly layered women characters as well as the nuts and bolts of writing scripts that sell. Enjoy a nurturing and open creative environment where you will have a chance to write your first script or develop a work-in-progress.
