Story Beats: What Makes the Heart of Your Script Tick?

No matter what the genre, screenwriting is about taking readers on a journey of discovery. But like any journey, the characters and destination will decide whether that trip is worth taking. This live webinar will share a simple story road-map every writer can use to plot a successful course, ensuring their audience enjoys the ride.

Few beginning screenwriters take the time to really flesh out their main storylines, let alone the side-streets and detours they should have their characters take to keep their scene progressions exciting and worth turning the page. This live webinar presents a process for creating a roadmap that reads as spontaneous, while also unfolding evolving characters’ story arcs that keep the reader engaged, and turning the page to see what happens next.

Join Jon James Miller, award-winning screenwriter, novelist, and professional story editor, will share what a successful 3-Act “road-map” looks like, and how to write a story rich with fully-realized characters that come alive through their cinematic journey. Also discussed will be how screenwriters can develop their own versatile and unique writer’s voice, combined with exciting visuals, to bring their story to life, no matter what the genre.
