Screenwriting 101 - Get 1/2 Off March Class! "Rated BEST online Screenwriting Class" by Screenwriter's Monthly Magazine! Screenwriting 101 is an online class for beginning writers or writers wanting to brush up on the fundamentals. For four weeks you will interact and study under the guidance of your instructor to jumpstart your writing and hit the ground running. Also, two online LIVE lectures during office hours to help you as you do your assignments and work on your script.
