Common questions around here:

When is the next Screenwriter School?
Why don’t you hold more of them?
Will there be coffee?

Not necessarily in that order.

Some say “Blame it on the dog.” After all, my loyal Labrador, ROCKY (yes, named after the iconic movie character) is very demanding. There are balls to fetch, hikes to take, parks to crash. It’s all so dizzying. Okay. Maybe not. But it would be an easy out.

The truth is... Screenwriter School is just me. There’s no staff. No office. No team. Just me.

And thankfully, I’ve been busy.

Lecturing at multiple universities. Writing and producing films. Developing television series. Consulting on screenplays. Conducting festival workshops. And playing drums in a rock band.

All of which, mind you, I feel incredibly fortunate to do. But they take time. And sadly, have resulted in me having to cancel or postpone a Screenwriter School or two over the years.

So that does not happen again...

For the foreseeable future, Screenwriter School will only be held one time a year. During the summer. Every Saturday. For six weeks. From 12 – 2pm EST. Online. On Zoom.

This summer’s course will take place from May 21 – June 25.

Please know this decision does not come lightly. After years of teaching people of all ages on all continents to write screenplays the way I was taught by the best and brightest in Hollywood, the thought of doing it only once a year at Screenwriter School is bittersweet.

My hope is this will work for most people. If not, I’m available to consult one-on-one.

Thank you for your support and understanding.
Or sure... blame it on the dog.
