"How To Secure, Adapt, And Sell Best-Selling Books To Hollywood -" |
"ABOUT THE WEBINAR Hollywood loves source material and there is no better material for a film or television series than a best-selling book.

This webinar will illustrate the process for acquiring the rights to a best-selling book, or a book that may have been overlooked, in order to package and sell it to in today ™s hyper-competitive Hollywood marketplace.

The Secrets To Writing Compelling Scenes - Ondemand Edition |
"ABOUT THE WEBINAR There are two essential skill-sets required for screenwriting or TV writing success. The ability to write scenes that grab a reader ™s attention and make them want to keep reading, and the ability to sequence those scenes into the most compelling order (story structure). These skills are not equal. The first skill is far more important than the second one. Many writers believe they already write sufficiently strong scenes, characters and dialogue, and that if they could only get better at story structure they ™d be able to write professional-level scripts. Unfortunately, this is too often not the case. I recently met a manager who received 116 script submissions from writers at a pitch fest. He read the first scene or two of each script, but would only continue reading if those scenes were written to professional-level standards. I asked how many scripts he read beyond the first couple of scenes? He said only two. Which means he tos"

The Nutshell Technique: Crack The Secret Of Successful Screenwriting - |

These writers may know how to format a script, write snappy dialogue, and set a scene. They may have interesting characters and perhaps some clever plot devices. But, invariably, while they may have the kernel of a good idea for a screenplay, they fail to tell a story. What the 99 percent do instead is present a situation. In order to explain the difference, Chamberlain created the Nutshell Technique, a method whereby writers identify eight dynamic, interconnected elements that are required to successfully tell a story. Now, for the first time, Chamberlain presents her unique method in book form with The Nutshell Technique: Crack the Secret of Successful Screenwriting.
