Screenwriting: Story Development
Course
Description
It’s one thing to start a script and another to carry it through with momentum, cohesion, and resolution. In this course, you’ll build on the draft you began in Screenwriting: Getting Started, learning how to edit and refine story structure, make characters more dynamic, and bring your plot to completion. In a writers’ room-style workshop setting, you’ll give and receive peer feedback that advances your story and trains you to confidently pitch a completed screenplay.
