SOLO LEARNER – WORK INDEPENDENTLY AND GET A TERRIFIC DEAL
For only $99 you can take the full 20-step course and complete it at your own leisure, over two months.
Included are checklists, script samples, tutorial videos and personal rewriting exercises.
We launch with a 1-hour online class explaining the course structure and answering any questions you might have.
At the end of the journey, you can download a copy of the ‘Next Draft Checklist’, a handy overview of all the techniques you have learned in the workshop.
This checklist will be your guide throughout the rewriting process and your measuring stick to keep you on target!
TWIN FUN – LEARN WITH A BUDDY AND HEAD FOR THE TARGET TOGETHER
If you like to be monitored, we match you up with a buddy who will work through the course with you. Your buddy will give you feedback and support and you will encourage each other to stay on track.
Your tutor will still keep an eye on your progress and give feedback on your logline, the most important tool in developing your concept and getting your screenplay read. Upon completion, you will receive personalized advice for the next draft during a half hour Q&A with your tutor.
Because no-one works at the same pace, you get an additional month access to the course materials, so you have ninety days to complete the work.
This approach is stimulating and fun and – who knows – you might end up with a writing partner!
TUTOR TAUGHT – GET THE BEST GUIDE ON YOUR JOURNEY
For a more guided approach with a professional tutor, you choose this option.
In addition to all the goodies of both budget options, you will receive expert feedback on your logline as well as your one-page synopsis.
You also receive up to one full hour of personalized online tutoring via phone or Skype. If you wish, you can break this up into two sessions: one at the end of the first Ten Steps (Story) and one just before commencing the rewrite.
Another benefit of this option: you have access to the online course materials for 4 months from signing up.
This approach makes sure you get the best professional advice for your own specific needs.
MAX IMPACT – IF YOU’RE SERIOUS ABOUT BUILDING A PRO WRITING CAREER
If your intention is to grow to a pro level as soon as possible, you want to choose this option. The learning curve will be steeper as your tutor guides you along the way, making sure you get every step of the process.
The outcome of each assignment will be checked by the tutor and you will receive feedback on everything within 48 hours.
This option gives you no less than 90 minutes one-on-one with your tutor in order to discuss aspects of the course or specific issues regarding your own story or screenplay.
You will have access to the course materials for one full year and in addition to the story feedback as part of the first part of the workshop, the Tutor will give you notes on a 5-page sample of your next draft.
