PageCraft’s Post

This is exactly why we start our Concept to Pages with lots of character work so your stories have strong, character-driven foundations and the theme emerges through that work rather than writers having to contort their words to hit a prescribed target. If that sounds useful, we'd love to work with you: https://lnkd.in/geN4bqpj #writing #wip #writingmemes #screenwriting #writer #screenwriters #screenwriter #screenwritersofinstagram #screenwritersofig #scriptwriting #scriptwriters #scriptwriter #screenwritercommunity #screenplay #womenscreenwriters #screenplaywriters #screenwritingsolutions #screenwritingadvice #shortscript #featurescript #screenwritingretreat #screenwritinglab #screenwritingmentor #pagecraft

Next workshop starts in January:

Writers are often afraid to beat their characters up. Not Mr. Towne. In our workshops we ask at the start of the story how your character is desperate. Then being able to identify a character's deepest fears, wounds, flaws and figuring out how these best play in the story structure is part of the foundational work we do on every script. Our last Concept to Pages workshop of the year starts September 7. Don't miss out. https://lnkd.in/g-wEz99d #writing #wip #writingmemes #screenwriting #writer #screenwriters #screenwriter #screenwritersofinstagram #screenwritersofig #scriptwriting #scriptwriters #scriptwriter #screenwritercommunity #screenplay #womenscreenwriters #screenplaywriters #screenwritingsolutions #screenwritingadvice #shortscript #featurescript #screenwritingretreat #screenwritinglab #screenwritingmentor #pagecraft

We love working with Michael. It's always fascinating to see how a director approaches this work in ways subtly different from someone who only writes. Michael will be leading a talk on writing to appeal to actors and directors this fall, stay tuned! #writing #wip #writingmemes #screenwriting #writer #screenwriters #screenwriter #screenwritersofinstagram #screenwritersofig #scriptwriting #scriptwriters #scriptwriter #screenwritercommunity #screenplay #womenscreenwriters #screenplaywriters #screenwritingsolutions #screenwritingadvice #shortscript #featurescript #screenwritingretreat #screenwritinglab #screenwritingmentor #pagecraft

Revising a sketch comedy sketch I've written from 3 pages to 2 pages. I have it down to one action and one line left on the third page. Come on funny words, get more concise! Fit on to the two pages ya darn words!! Actually, kind grateful for having to do this, learning how to really get to the "it" fast. #SketchComedy #writing #screenwriting #script

We'll help you get through the process with success and new tools to help you on every future script. But most importantly, you won't do it alone. Our groups are small, focused cohorts of like-minded writers ready to dive in with insight and empathy. Does that describe you? Our next series starts September 7. Applications are due in August. #writing #wip #writingmemes #screenwriting #writer #screenwriters #screenwriter #screenwritersofinstagram #screenwritersofig #scriptwriting #scriptwriters #scriptwriter #screenwritercommunity #screenplay #womenscreenwriters #screenplaywriters #screenwritingsolutions #screenwritingadvice #shortscript #featurescript #screenwritingretreat #screenwritinglab #screenwritingmentor #pagecraft #onlineworkshop

Make it harder on your characters:

We've been fortunate enough to work with Donna on several of her other projects. A deeply intuitive writer, it's always a joy to watch her gears turn. It's even more of a joy to watch them go out into the world and win things. Next script on deck!
