ClassFall Screenwriting Sampler with Michael Gorrie
Want to try your hand at screenwriting? Perhaps you'd like to take a writing class but you're not sure if it's a great fit for you—or you're not sure if taking a class online will be the experience you're hoping for. If you're new to the Loft, online classes, or creative writing, or you'd just like the opportunity to try a class for a brief time, meet other writers, and find a writing community while finding your own voice, this Sampler Class is the place for you! For one specially reduced price, you'll get an hour of a brief introduction to screenwriting craft and engaging discussion, and you'll make connections with fellow screenwriters writers far and wide. If you enjoy this sampler class, you can sign up for Write Your Screenplay in Six Weeks or Introduction to Writing for Television, both offered later this summer, or another Loft class.
All Classes listed on the Loft website take place in Central Standard Time (CST); make sure you understand your time zone, and adjust accordingly
