Script Analysis ~ Readers Class - June 21st

This class gives a solid grounding in script analysis, how to break down stories, characters, and dialogue, what to look for, and how to create constructive criticism.

Reading and analyzing scripts is one of the best ways to improve your writing! It’s so much easier to see glaring problems and brilliant writing in work that is not your own – and once you see it and know what to look for, you can apply it to your own scripts.

Speaker:  Melessa Y. Sargent
