Action-Packed Saturday Featuring Three Free Events at the Writers Store

Three FREE Events this Saturday at the Writers Store can help any writer take an idea and transform it to a script read by film studios and production companies. No matter where you are in your writing process, there is so much insight available on Saturday that any screenwriter can benefit:

•All great scripts start with an idea and finish in a Final Draft. This Saturday, learn how to take your thoughts and put them on the page in the format used by Hollywood insiders. Screenwriter and film aficionado Mario Moreno will lead this hands-on demonstration of Final Draft 7.1.3. Whether you are new to Final Draft or a seasoned pro, you can learn all of the new features that help every writer format his or her script like an Oscar winner.

• Now that you’ve gotten your thoughts on paper and formatted in Final Draft, receive FREE script critiques from Richard Walter, Chairman of UCLA’s Screenwriting Masters program. This mini-seminar gives writers the chance to workshop a sample of their work, and, more importantly, to arrange for a free script critique from Richard Walter after the event! Also, Richard Walter will teach the two essential principles embraced by UCLA's legendary Screenwriting Masters program that will take your script to the next level.

• You have written countless drafts of your script, you’ve received feedback and critiques from friends and professional script readers, you’ve formatted your script in Final Draft, and you are finally ready to release your work into the world….what happens now? What are studio executives looking for? What can a successful logline do for your script?

Let Rona Edwards and Monika Skerbelis lead you through what happens to screenplays and material submitted to each studio and/or production company. You will learn what Hollywood readers and executives look for in screenplays, including why the logline is important to sparking interest in your work.
