  • Creating a Powerful Outline

    Many people HATE outlining or feel that they do not need it. I get that, I used to be in that camp. But then I realized that in order to be a professional writer I had to write outlines that sell. 

    Not only that, an excellent outline saves time in the rewrite and provides an essential blueprint that guides the story-building process. You would never build a house without a clear architectural plan, same is true with writing a film or tv show.

    In this course, we will use the writing tools that I originally learned from Stewart Stern (Rebel Without A Cause) and honed while at Columbia University Film and Television MFA program in NY. I’ve shared them with my one-on-one coaching clients, who have gone onto successful careers.

    In this screenwriting workshop, you'll learn the fundamentals of outlining your story and taking it from idea to first or next draft. In class writing assignments and discussions included.

    Taught by screenwriting and directing mentor Carrie Schrader.
