SCREENWRITING AS A CAREER? 
ARE YOU NUTS!?

In all honesty, it takes the right mix of craft and business savvy to be a successful screenwriter. Building complex worlds and plots or crafting compelling characters starts with a solid understanding of craft, but possessing those skills in a vacuum won’t amount to much without nurturing strong industry relationships, keeping abreast of marketing & acquisition trends, and staying current on new & varied forms distribution platforms take. These are key components a large percentage of screenwriting programs fail to cover. Here at The New Screenwriter, we provide both the craft expertise, and business consulting services that will ensure you are giving your work the best opportunity to succeed in an increasingly competitive marketplace. In the long run, you'll develop content strategies that can't help but attract management, financiers and talent to your work.
