This workshop isn’t about churning out another draft that sits on a shelf – it’s about understanding the key elements that make scripts irresistible to the industry.

Are Your Scripts Not Gaining Traction?
If screenwriting is your passion, but you’re unsure how to take that next big step toward going pro, you’re not alone. Many aspiring screenwriters feel stuck, balancing 9-to-5 jobs with their dream of creating something that truly stands out. That’s why the Pre-Writing Workshop was built – to give you the tools to transform your love for writing into stories that captivate producers and open doors to new opportunities.
Practice doesn’t make perfect Practice makes permanent
Just because you continue to write and churn out scripts, doesn't mean you're going to improve as a writer. Especially if you're using the wrong techniques and continue making the same mistakes.
Passes are solely subjective
Screenwriting is a subjective medium, but there are elements to a script that, if done correctly, will make it objectively good and vice versa, if done incorrectly will make it objectively bad.
Writing is Pre-Writing
The most important work happens before the actual act of writing begins. Like a chef who needs to properly prep his ingredients before he starts cooking, writers need to properly develop certain key pillars to their script before they start writing.
