Limited to only 5 writers, in these special Group Mentorships you won't just receive feedback on your script(s), but also individual coaching on your pitch, your marketing strategy, and your next steps as you take your screenwriting career to the next level!
You will have the opportunity to share your material with your classmates so that each writer will learn from their own feedback and the feedback given to their peers. You'll also be able to email the host during the week so you are fully guided for the entire month.

Emily pushed me (and the others in my group) hard, I told her she broke my brain. Where others have said this script is great, Emily said take it back to outline because you've got a great idea so let's make it a great script. That wasn't easy to hear, but she was absolutely right. I will have a better script because of her feedback. She gave me so much good stuff to think about. I've never been so excited to do a page 1 rewrite.
