Join the Hollywood Revolution: 30-Day Screenwriting "Boot Camp" with Tananarive and Steven Barnes

Are you working on a screenplay, or do you have a screenplay idea you’re not sure how to start?

Do you want input from industry professionals on your screenplay or idea?

Are you an author who would like to learn to adapt your own work to film?

Whether you’re a screenwriter, a prose writer or a producer, there has never been a more exciting time to try to get your foot in the door in television and film. But it all begins on the page – with a terrific screenplay or teleplay.
