Have you always wanted to know more about the world of screenwriting? Maybe considered adapting your novel into a screenplay?
Kim Sparks will be joining us to talk about the screenplay format. Using sample scripts, she will demonstrate how to use actions and dialogue to ‘show don’t tell’ our stories.
Kim will show us some of the tools of the trade: script-writing programs for computer and mobile apps. She will also share some knowledge about television writing and collaborative writing in television writing rooms. She will share her views about working with an agent as a screenwriter. Bring your questions for the Q and A.
