Script Writing

This script writing course dives straight into the page—no red carpets or flimsy promises. You’ll start with the fundamentals, then quickly progress into character arcs, plot structure, punchy dialogue, and how to make every scene earn its place. Whether your story’s about dragons or dating apps, the structure is the same: clear, deliberate, and tight.

The modules also cover formatting standards, writing by genre, pitching, revising, and evaluating scripts with a critical eye (yes, even yours).
