Welcome, new subscribers! While regular Room Snacks is still on hiatus until the strike ends (I do feel all the talk shows abandoning their scab plans is hopeful, but I’m also starting to feel like Charlie Brown with the football about the whole thing), we have NEW CLASSES starting in the next few weeks! Get those post-strike samples ready to go!
ONE-OFF CLASSES! Each of theses costs $150 for a two hour class on a particular topic. Each will close with a Q&A with me.
Open Writing Assignments Boot Camp: Friday, 9/22: 2pm-4pm PST
Staff Writer Strategy: Friday, 10/6: 2pm-4pm PST
Care and Keeping (Or Not) of Your Reps: Friday, 11/3: 2pm-4pm PST
SIX WEEK WORKSHOPS! Capped at 10 participants. $500 for six two hour classes designed to take you from a pilot idea to a pitch document. Want to be ready to pitch when this strike ends? This is for you. This workshop will cover coming up with an idea that thrills you to your core, one that you absolutely cannot WAIT to write; building characters that feel real and developing a story they drive; story structure; season and series story engines; the fundamentals of pitching, and building a pitch deck in Canva.
Tuesdays, 8pm-10pm PST: 10/3, 10/10, 10/24, 10/31, 11/7, 11/14 (no class 10/17): $500
There will be weekly homework and I will schedule an individual session with each writer, but the focus of this workshop is general instruction, not notes on individual work. Looking for that? Check out…
SIXTEEN SESSION WORKSHOPS! Capped at 10 writers. $1000 for sixteen classes designed to take you from a pilot idea to a completed script. Looking for something to give reps? This is the class for you.
