Whether you’re writing your first script or you’ve completed quite a few, one thing that never changes is the need for proper and consistent formatting, and a smooth, polished read. Formatting is a fundamental tool that can either make or break your success when the moment counts. It's the first thing that your reader will notice, and it's a common reason for them to stop reading and put your script in the No pile. If your script has inconsistencies, typos, formatting errors, dense paragraphs, and dialogue blocks, then they won't trust you to execute your story (or someone else's) properly—over many drafts and many years. 

Join us for a special formatting and editing webinar to help you reach that professional level of polish before sending out your script. You might even learn about mistakes you didn't know you were making! 

This 90-Minute Webinar Covers:

  • Formatting basics
  • Most common mistakes 
  • Style choices and the path of least resistance 
  • Tips for catching more mistakes 
  • Special case scenarios

Roadmap Writers
terra@roadmapwriters.com
Terra Joy started her career in Washington, DC as a journalist where she also managed a documentary film campaign, resulting in 115+ screenings in under nine months. She was also very active in the local screenwriting community as a member of WIF. Before joining the RoadCrew, she was a reader for Slamdance. She has read over a thousand scripts, and has seen the trends in feedback from execs on over 5K. Terra is also a professional proofreader and line editor, and a staffwriter on Season 2 of FORNICAKES -- an award winning webseries about two polar opposite best friends who open up an erotic bakery. As a writer, a craft and psychology nerd, and a Virgo with OCD, she loves to use her detail obsession to benefit story development. She's been to 35+ countries, has a B.A. in Political Science, and when she's not connecting awesome creative people with other awesome creative people, she's writing, or thinking about writing. Terra also enjoys boba tea, stand-up comedy, and breaking down shows and movies in preparation to launch a totally adorable yet ruthless living room podcast with her roommate Alex Davies.
