Welcome to the From Idea to First Draft Series!

I’m so excited to go on this journey with you guys! The following series is my personal approach to getting to a first draft and I promise parts of it WILL BE NEW TO YOU even if you’ve done this a million times. How do I know that?

Because I’m planning on doing something different than what you usually see in these types of classes.

I’m not just going to teach how to write a first draft, I’m going to show you how to make it a GOOD first draft. One that has a clarity of vision, meaningful character arcs and satisfying stories.

One that could have only been written by YOU.

A few quick notes before we get started:

  1. This series is for people who already have an idea for a script and want to know how to turn it into a first draft.

  2. If you have any questions about the process as we go or just want to connect with other writers, feel free to hop on the Paid Subscriber chat and I’ll answer!
