This intensive class is designed to be an introduction or review of the process of developing an idea into a working draft of a play or screenplay. It will cover the basics of formulating your story idea, techniques of in-depth character exploration, investigating the back story, analyzing the story structural components, inventing plot, charting out the dramatic shape of a story, techniques of good dialogue writing, and tips for writing of the first draft and beyond. Numerous exercises and handouts will guide you through the writing process as it unfolds.
I've taught a version of this master class for several years around the country. It's always been a lively and stimulating time for me and participants. If you're within shouting distance of Manchester on April 5, I hope you'll consider joining us.

I'm the
Program Director of the low-residency MFA in Writing for Stage and Screen being offered by the New Hampshire Institute of Art
and we are currently accepting applications for entering the program at our
June 2014 summer residency, although the April 1st deadline is fast approaching. I'm also a playwright and screenwriter,
producing partner in my production company Either/Or Films (The Sensation of Sight and Only
Daughter), and a professional script
consultant.
