UPCOMING EVENTS FOR JEN GRISANTI CONSULTANCY INC.

The last day to sign up at the $75.00 reduced rate for the February 27th Storywise Seminar, "Gearing Up for Staffing and Development Season" has been moved to Friday 1/22/10.  After that, the price will increase to $110.00.  The start date of the ten-week Storywise Teleseminar has been moved to Sunday, March 7, 2010.  This means your new spec script will be written by April, in time for staffing, and your new pilot will be completed by the beginning of May, in time for development.

2010 is all about TAKING ACTION, and making things happen and achieving your goals.  If you want to staff in television, sell a pilot or better your chances of becoming a finalist in a writing program, you will want to be a part of the following events. 

For the Storywise Seminar at UCLA, I am putting together a panel of top agents, managers and executives to give you insight on how to up your game and get staffed.  You will also get a workbook to take home with you as a guide for your scriptwriting process. 

It's all about taking action and believing.  You can do it!!

GEARING UP FOR STAFFING AND DEVELOPMENT SEASON STORYWISE SEMINAR -
In this class, we will go over everything you need to know to gear up for staffing and development season.  We'll go over the top specs being read right now and what makes a spec stand out.  I'll provide tips to help you be more confident about pitching your story and writing your pilot.  We will review the pilots that were picked up this year and what stands out about them.  We will also go over tips for the meeting process.

Going to seminars is an opportunity to create a community.  It is all about building your network.  You do not want to miss this opportunity to help you put your plan into action.

If you buy tickets by January 22nd, the cost is $75.00.  After that, the cost increases to $110.00.



STORYWISE TELESEMINAR - 10 WEEKS TO CRAFTING YOUR TV WRITING PORTFOLIO
By the end of this course, you will complete a new standout spec and pilot script.  I especially designed this program to increase your chances of getting staffed, selling your pilot, getting representation and getting into a Writing Program.

I was inspired to create this course after seeing how many thousands of people submit to the Writing Programs and don't get in.  I figured if they had the guidance of and commitment to a week by week structure, they could  garner some of the same results provided by the writing programs.  As a Writing Instructor for NBC's Writers on the Verge, I've personally witnessed the rewarding results a structured class can have on the career of the participants.

The seminar begins on March 7th and there are limited upgraded packages available offering discounted consultations and weekly feedback on your work.  This seminar presents a great opportunity to set deadlines for yourself and commit to your vision.

Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them.
