Young Writers: Write Your Screenplay or TV Pilot for Teens

This group connects young writers across the U.S. and beyond, fostering a supportive community focused on individual writing goals, making new friends, and meeting young writers where they are at each week.

Join us if you love movies and TV and you're thinking of writing screenplays.

This class is designed as both a workshop—where we give input on each others' writing—and instruction about the structure of screenplays.

Students will learn the art form of screenwriting, develop work in class, and share and receive feedback from their peers and the teaching artist. Each week we'll learn various lessons on the craft of screenwriting while also focusing on student’s work.

Our final class will discuss industry advice on how to get your script into the hands of industry professionals.
