these pitch conference events three years ago, and as a result of

writer’s retreat where she and a producer rewrote a pilot for a TV
series. And guess where she met the producer? You guessed
right!"

Proper Formatting Technique
Let Dave Trottier (Dr. Format himself) show you
the necessary techniques and currently accepted standards that will
set your script apart from the heap. Not only will he teach you the
rules, he will show you when and how to break them. By applying
Dave's formatting techniques, you will write more compelling
description and sharper dialogue. That's because formatting is not
just a box to dump your story into, it is part of the story itself
-- it's a writing tool that will enhance your story and help you
create a reader-friendly screenplay. The course includes four
lessons and several exercises to sharpen your skills. In addition,
Dave will provide a complete critique of your three page writing
sample. Required Reading: The
Screenwriter's Bible.
