It’s Christmas in June with Samantha!
With the Hallmark Channel producing over 100 romance movies a year and Lifetime airing over 30 holiday movies in the last few years, many other distributors — such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon — have also become enamored with this genre, creating numerous opportunities for romance writers to find a match-made-in-heaven for their scripts.
In our 10-week online workshop, Samantha Herman, writer of 10+ produced RomComs, including nine on Hallmark, will guide you from concept to first draft of your romance idea to help make it the most attractive script amongst the hundreds of enchanting submissions all vying for a “meet-cute” with its soulmate–the producer.
Using a combination of lecture, workshop, and writing time – students will create an outline of a 90-minute movie for television or streaming. Over the course of ten classes, students will learn about the structure of 9-acts, while generating the pitch and a draft of an outline that details the plot, character journeys, and emotional arcs. Finally, students will write a “zero-draft” version of the script; that is, a draft they can show to each other, and prepare for revisions. Students may also rewrite a TV holiday movie in the class instead of writing something new.
Samantha’s next class begins Wednesday, June 28th from 6-9pm PST. Cost: $1500. Classes are capped at 8 students so that all participants can receive ample feedback. Please inquire for payment plan options.
