The Beginner’s Path: The Next Level
Want to Take Things Up a Notch?
Ready to take your writing journey to another level? The Beginner’s Path, Intermediate Edition is designed to help you finish the script you started in the Beginner’s Path course or for writers early in their screenwriting journey who have already finished a script and would like to rewrite in a supportive 1:1 environment.
The Beginner’s Path: Intermediate Edition
Over the course of six 1:1 sessions, we will dive into a new script or rewrite, breaking it down act by act as you create your world.
We will go into even more detail on scenework, writing action, and dialogue with one of our instructors (all working writers) giving you detailed notes on each act as you complete it and ultimately, on your story as a whole.
You will write at your own pace and come away from this course with a completed first draft or rewrite.
In our final session, you will receive detailed coverage from one of our expert readers and line notes from one of our instructors.
