MOROCCO:  RESIDENTIAL WORKSHOP
8th to 15th September 2012

Following on from our highly successful workshop last year, we are running this again in 2012.  Come away with a wealth of ideas to develop your film story or draft screenplay from this intensive script workshop located in the beautiful and inspiring coastal town of Essaouira.

. . . is by writing.  Our dynamic courses are based on exercises, not lectures. They're designed to help you develop your skills, improve your technique, and hone your craft.  

We run intensive script development workshops that mentor you through every stage of the scriptwriting process from conception to final draft.

You can train in day, weekend and evening workshops, send your scripts for personal assessment and meet our consultants one-to-one or by email.  

Writers come to our courses from Europe, North and South America, Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. They range from total beginners to experienced screenwriters, published novelists and playwrights.  

We've expanded into areas like radio writing, teaching script reading and editing, corporate courses, and schools and higher education.

We're passionate about good writing.  We are all writers too.  And because we never stop learning ourselves, we commit to helping support the success of our writers as they get better and better.
