If you want some help with screenwriting, I can recommend:

Save the Cat(Skip his boring stories) Some of the best advice for features. Loglines are very important.

Screenwriting down to the Atoms by Michael Welles Schock

Bill Idelson’s Writing Class. (Great use of conflict)

I would also read screenplays everyday, preferably on an iPad.

The tracking board forums are a great resource for all the new and old screenplays to read.

If you give me your email I will send you the two best examples of scripts you should copy.


I've written about Three feature scripts, several unfinished shit ones, one pilot, and several shorts.

Do not write shorts unless you intend to direct them, they are also far more abstract than features.

Do not waste your time with screenwriting fellowships or contests, they are a money pit.
If you write a great screenplay, there is nothing in the world that can stop it from being made.
