7 Screenwriting Mistakes
Stopping you getting an agent, manager or producer
FREE Screenwriting MASTERCLASS
In this free masterclass, you’ll learn to find and fix the 7 biggest mistakes killing your script:
🔴 Writing an “instruction manual blueprint” for the movie rather than writing for the reader’s entertainment. I’ll share specific fixes that you can implement in your screenplay today
🔴 Writing with the goal of selling your script (this one sounds counterintuitive but watch the first ten minutes. The penny will drop.)
🔴 Scripts lacking VOICE -- the #1 thing agents look for -- with examples from scripts like AIR
🔴 Overwriting by 30-60% -- see how one writer eliminated his overwriting and got signed by a top manager
🔴 Telling rather than showing with cinematic imagery -- watch me transform amateur writing into pro level cinematic description
🔴 Bungled character introductions that fail to make an impactful first impression on the reader
🔴 Clunky sentences that cause the reader to disengage and abandon your screenplay

I’ve written 45 screenplays, 35 optioned or commissioned

I’ve helped writers just like you turn unread scripts into page-turners that get attention. And in this masterclass, I’m revealing the exact mistakes that cause agents to lose interest in your script - on page 1.
You’ve poured months - or even years - into your screenplay. You’ve rewritten, polished, entered scores of contests. Yet, agents don’t call. Producers don’t bring you in for general meetings. Hollywood seems impossible to break into.
Watch the free masterclass to discover the 7 mistakes silently killing your script - and learn how to fix them. If you want to write a calling card script that will get you noticed by agents and managers, you can’t afford to miss this.
