Join us for this 8-Week Introduction to Screenwriting Workshop led by screenwriter Ted Houser at Writing Workshops Detroit!

About this Event

In this 8-week course for screenwriting novices, the student will receive a comprehensive overview of the basics of screenwriting, and will leave the class with the skills needed to confidently begin the process of outlining and writing an original screenplay. Primarily lecture-based, each week we will cover/review topics that the student will have read about in the assigned readings.

Topics include but are not limited to: screenplay structure, technical formatting of screenplays, the differences between TV and feature film scripts, single cam vs. multi cam screenplays, and the top 10 deadly sins to avoid when writing a screenplay. You'll round out the course by analyzing one screenplay and two pilot episodes. In our final time together, the instructor will lead a demonstration on how to use Final Draft, the industry standard screenplay writing software.

Class size limited to 8 writers

Meets Mondays 6:30PM to 8:30PM / January 14, 2019 to March 4, 2019

Class meets at Bamboo Detroit at 1420 Washington Blvd #301, Detroit, MI 48226

DESCRIPTION

Amy Probst, professional writer, trainer, actor, and motivator is bringing the authorized Lynda Barry writing workshop Writing the Unthinkable to the Detroit Public Library!

Lynda Barry’s original description says it all; “You do not have to be a Writer to be a part of it! This class works especially well for non-writers like bartenders, janitors, office workers, hairdressers, musicians, and ANYONE who has given up on “being a writer’ but still wonders what it might be like to write.”

Bring a notebook and pens or pencils.

NO LATECOMERS! Arrive on time! Space is limited! RSVP today!

FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. (Adults)

Parking is available in the staff parking lot on Putnam St. Entrance to the Library is through either the Woodward or Cass Ave. doors. Accessible parking is available in the circular drive on Cass Ave.
