Visual Storytelling Course | 30 Exercises For Screenwriters
We have put together one of the best online writing courses in our library and we want to share it with you for free. We have adapted it into an online writing course.
This visual storytelling course, with its 30 exercises for screenwriters, is valuable for any writer. But even more so for a screenwriter.
The nature of a script means our writing has to work much harder. We don’t have 80 000 words to explain and describe, but readers, directors. and actors still need to understand what we’ve written.
There are several steps you can take to help improve your screenwriting, and we’ll be discussing them in 14 lessons.
