Many students become anxious at the prospect of having to write an essay or term paper. They don't understand the conventions for organizing essays, and they don't know how to manage their time and the writing process. The result is that many students enter college without the skills necessary to succeed simply because they were never properly taught how to write essays . This course aims to overcome this problem by offering a systematic framework for essay writing that removes the mystery and presents a clear path for moving from idea to outline to completed first draft. A STRUCTURED APPROACH TO SUCCESSFUL ESSAY WRITING The most efficient way to improve your essay writing is to focus on the key structural features that define successful writing at the essay level. An essay can be written beautifully, but if it's missing key structural elements (like a well defined thesis statement), it will fail as an essay. This course provides a set of concepts and tools for thinking about, analyzing and fixing problems with the structural elements of your essay. CONTENTS AND OVERVIEW Students in this course will learn how essay writing skills are related to "deep reading" and "deep thinking" skills, and why this is increasingly important in today's world. You will also learn how standards of good essay writing are related to standards of good written communication more broadly. You'll learn why academic essays are structured the way they are, how essay style is related to essay structure, how to approach the writing process, and how to organize your time so that you can actually get the work done before the deadline. But the centerpiece of the course is two detailed case studies. In one of them I take a short student essay that has some serious problems, analyze the structural issues and rewrite that essay from start to finish. In another case study I take an actual essay assignment from an actual college class, that I don't teach, and take that essay from initial brainstorming and researching to a detailed outline to a completed first draft with a reference list and inline reference citations. At the end of this course you will feel more confident about your ability to successfully complete essay assignments in school, and you will have a greater understanding of the skills and habits of successful writers.

**During the Covid pandemic festival attendance has changed, but the concepts taught in this course can still apply. It is just as important as ever to be ready to interact with others in the industry and to have an organized method of maintaining contacts, which are the key elements in this course. I have decided to offer it for free during this time so you'll be ready to go when we're back at the festivals again.** If you're a filmmaker or screenwriter, you’ve probably gone to a film festival or a writer’s conference with the hopes of making an important connection. If you’ve ever come home with a stack of business cards that sat accusingly on your desk until you just gave up and stuck them in a drawer or worse, threw them out because you didn’t know what to do with them, then this course is for you. Everyone knows the film industry is all about who you know. However, if you’re like most writers you would not say that networking is your strength, and you may even feel uncomfortable or fake about it. So many of us are introverts and much prefer to hide at our desks writing than socialize with people, especially if we’re supposed to “network”. To me networking is as simple as going somewhere to connect with other people in the industry and putting in a little extra work to maintain those connections in a way that feels authentic and is mutually beneficial. I built my entire business on word of mouth referrals and I want to teach you how to do the same for your screenwriting career. By the end of this course you will: Know what and who you should research before you get to the event What tools will make networking easier for you What things you should have ready to take with you Have a working contact management system set up, ready for you to use at your next event have a technique for contacting anyone about 1-on-1 time during the conference feel more confident reaching out to industry connections understand how to keep in touch consistently so you can strengthen your industry network I’m going to keep things simple and teach you the basics of collecting and managing contact information so you can build relationships over time. I’m not going to teach you gimmicks or how to spam and annoy people. I’m going to give you a simple system to follow so that you can make the most of events you attend and make it easier for you to keep in touch with the people you meet. If you set up and use this system for your next festival or conference you will set yourself apart from the majority of other attendees, paving the way for you to stand out in a sea of writers. If you would like to become a better networker, get more out of the events you attend, and learn skills that will grow alongside your career... Enroll today!
