About this course:
One of the hardest things to do for aspiring writers is to get noticed in order to jump-start their careers. Entering competitions, getting internships, sending query letters and networking are the most common ways to break into the industry. In this course we focus on screenwriting competitions, how to write a script that places in competitions, what judges are looking for, how to write a killer opening that engages your reader, what mistakes to avoid, which competitions to enter and how to use competition wins to propel your writing career. With the use of lectures, script readings/analysis and practical workshops, you learn how to elevate your script, heighten its potential for placing in competitions and capitalize from your wins.
