NEW STORE PAGE - JEN GRISANTI CONSULTANCY INC.


I am VERY EXCITED to launch my new STORE PAGE.  On my Store Page, my products will not only be available to you through the mail, they will also be available immediately by download! 

I designed a variety of products because we all learn in different ways. Some learn best through one on one instruction, others learn by taking classes, and others prefer to learn by listening to audio CDs and reading. No matter what format, all of my products are designed to help you write your best spec and/or pilot script.

Thank you for all of the sales and the tremendous feedback!

You can take a Video Tour of my products on my VIDEO PROMO PAGE.


One of the products you'll find on my new store page is particularly exciting. You can now pre-order my book STORY LINE: FINDING GOLD IN YOUR LIFE STORY for 34% off the retail price. The book will be out in March 2011 and you can learn more about it by watching this video promo:







FRIDAY NIGHT DRINKS
