"I've always been mystified as to why (or how) anyone in their right mind would want to fall into the hole that has become the Internet in order to sell something as personal as a screenplay. But there is actually a logical step-by-step process one could follow in order to separate the wheat from the chaff. If you've been looking for another way in, Christopher Wehner has just opened the door." 
— <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0291082/">Scott Frank</a>, Screenwriter GET SHORTY, OUT OF SIGHT.
 
"Christopher Wehner has written the ultimate marketing guide for
screenwriters on the Internet. Writing a query letter, getting an agent,
soliciting production companies online… Chris covers it all in depth.
The agency guide and production company listings alone are worth far
more than the cost of the book."
 — Erik Bauer, Managing Editor Creative Screenwriting magazine.

 The instructor is Chris Wehner, a published author and professional screenwriter. He has worked in the field for over 10 years.

 <h3>Does the class meet? </h3>

Classes don't meet in the traditional sense. You will participate online 
for parts of the class - except for Office Hours (live sessions with your instructor!) - on your own time.
Each "class" continues for the entire month.

 <h3>How do I communicate with the instructor and my classmates, can I ask questions?</h3>
 Via LIVE chat sessions with your instructor and your
classmates in the Chat Room, which we call Office Hours. During Office Hours the instructor will give his/her presentation and then you and your fellow students can ask questions, discuss, and anything else that pertains to the class. 

You'll also be communicating with your instructor and
classmates in the interactive Forums where you can post about
the lectures, assignments, ask questions, make comments, anything! And your
instructor will be checking in on the forum regularly to answer your
questions and add their own two cents when necessary. 

 <h3>How do I get feedback from my instructor? Will this be an interactive class?</h3>
 Yes. Your instructor gives you a deadline for posting your work in the Homework Forum.
 Students and instructor read your work and post comments
under your name on the forum. You can go to the forum as often
as you like to read instructor and class discussions, post your own comments,
or get class updates. In turn, you also will read your fellow students' work
and post comments under their name on the forum. We encourage you to
read the instructor's comments on all of your classmates' work, since that will
help you develop a critical eye. Reading and commenting on each other's work
is one of the most critical keys to success in our eClasses. 


 <h3>Do I have to register to get into class?

 Yes. You can start your registration process below
