STORYWISE SEMINAR WORKBOOK:  GEARING UP FOR STAFFING AND DEVELOPMENT SEASON
The workbook that I give out exclusively at my seminars is now available to you for $22.95. I had a whole new batch made to accommodate the large amount of sales.  It is 30 pages long and chock full of all the information you need for staffing and development, including the components and structure of strong spec and pilot scripts, story breakdowns of current shows, career tips and the results of a questionnaire to top studio and network executives.  You will also find a one sheet of the answers that the panel gave from the event.  With this workbook, you will be able to elevate your existing scripts as well as increase your chances of writing stronger new scripts.

As a result of the large number of orders, the workbook is now available on Kindle for $18.95.

STORYWISE TELESEMINAR - 10 WEEKS TO A COMPLETED SPEC AND PILOT SCRIPT
My desire to use my expertise to provide you with the tools you need for career success inspired my upcoming Storywise Teleseminar.  The spec script portion begins Sunday, April 11, 2010.  The pilot script portion begins Sunday, May 23, 2010.

The spec script writing class will be the first 5 weeks.  Then, there will be a week break.  Then, the pilot script writing class will begin Sunday, May 23rd and last 5 weeks.  You can sign up for either or both.  You will complete your spec scripts in time for most of the writing program submission deadlines and you will complete pilots in time for development.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE STORYWISE TELESEMINAR
  • Spec portion begins Sunday April 11th at 4:00 p.m. PST.  There are 5 calls included in this.
  • Pilot portion begins Sunday May 23rd at 4:00 p.m. PST.  There are 5 calls included in this.
  • The calls will last one hour.  A few days before the start date, a call in # will be sent to you.
  • You will listen to one hour of instruction for each call that will include covering every phase of the script writing process starting with the concept. 
  • You will not be able to ask questions directly during the call because there will be too many people on the call but you can send e-mails to my assistant, Chitra, with your questions before the end of each call and I will answer them the last 10 minutes of the call or by e-mail.
  • The program is structured to keep you on track with your writing goals so that at the end of the spec portion, you will have a new spec and at the end of the pilot portion, you will have a new pilot.
Significantly increase your chances of success this year by using Jen's guidance and feedback to complete a new spec and a new pilot script in time for staffing and development.
