About this course:

It’s often challenging for writers to read their own work as if they don’t already know what it says, or is *supposed* to say. But the writer’s true job is to coherently move ideas from their brains into their readers’ brains with only markings on-screen or -paper to complete that feat. If you think about it, it’s remarkable that humans can achieve this communicative magic at all, let alone often and well. In this three-hour workshop, writer bring their own work (500 words max, prose or in screenplay format) and first watch me proof/edit “live” the first 250 (PDF files only), then they proof/edit the rest of that piece. Along the way, they’ll learn professional proof-reading techniques and notations. This will include explanations regarding the how’s and why’s for each editorial suggestion, and will be targeted to screenwriters, not grammarians.
