Turn your idea into a script that producers will drool over

13/02/2020

13 February, 2020 - 09:03

All About Writing provides aspirant script and screenwriters with both the skills and advice theyll need to turn good ideas (well even help you with those!) into the sorts of stories that producers drool over.

From our self-guided mini-courses on writing compelling and believable dialogue, and creating vivid and memorable characters, to our crash course in all the skills involved in writing scripts, to our intensive kickstart programme, that walks you through the process of writing a saleable outline, we give you that necessary boot in the bum that we all sometimes need.

And when youre ready, we offer a month-by-month mentoring programme to turn your outline into a scintillating script. https://allaboutwritingcourses.com/film-and-television/

CREATING CHARACTER FOR SCREENWRITERS is an online mini-course which will give you all the pointers youll need to build a memorable character.

DIALOGUE FOR SCREENWRITERS consists of six mini-modules that will give the foundation you need to write credible dialogue.

Our SCREENWRITING CRASH COURSE is a 10 module online course will teach you the essential elements that make up a screenplay: how to tell a great story, how to develop compelling characters, and rules of plotting and structure. Suitable for beginners.

A clear well-structured outline is the key to any successful screenplay. In our KICKSTART YOUR SCREENPLAY course we walk you through the skills, techniques and strategies involved in turning an idea into a workable outline with extensive feedback. This is a professional level course and some film industry or writing experience essential.

We also offer SCREENWRITING MENTORING. Our Mentoring Programme provides one-on-one coaching on any film or television project, whether developing an idea or writing the script.
