It seems everybody you talk to has a screenplay in them that they're itching to get out. But where to begin? The rules are quite different from writing short stories or books.

Please join us in welcoming award-winning fiction and screenplay writer Audrey Wilson as she pays a return visit to IWOC, this time introducing us to the world of screenwriting. She'll discuss how to structure your story for film, develop characters and craft a scene using dialogue and visuals to forward the plot. From the basics of formatting, to crafting your screenplay using industry-standard screenwriting software, you'll leave feeling prepared and eager to sit down with your laptop and take your first steps into writing for the silver (or flat) screen.
