what we do
Join a community of more than 27,000 writers from 170 countries.
We help aspiring screenwriters get their stories on the page so they can share it with the world.
why we do it
Because we love it. Empowering people to tell their stories matters to us.
The world is a better place when more people are empowered to share their stories.
It is our priority to ensure that all of our resources are accessible and affordable to everyone.
Our guiding principles
Accessible. We want as many people to be able to enjoy screenwriting as possible. So, all our content is [CC] close-captioned, available online, and always affordable.
Professional. Even though our courses are appropriate for screenwriters who are 12 and up, we always treat our students as adults. No material is ever watered down.
Succinct. It's the screenwriting rule: less is more. We know you don't come here to hear us talk, so we keep all videos to-the-point.
