How to Write the Romance-Drama Screenplay

Picture

​As Jane Austin and the Brontës knew only too well, love stories sell – big time.
 
But as any Mills & Boon writer will tell you, writing a great love story isn’t as easy as you’d think.
 
The journey from ‘They meet’ to ‘They live happily ever after’ can be a rocky road littered with clichéd dialogue, pointless plots and one-dimensional characters. 
 
However, if you get it right, there’s a vast market for great romance dramas, especially in ‘made-for-TV’ so if you want to sell a screenplay, there’s no better genre to try.
 
This is a 100% hands-on workshop.  You’ll be brainstorming and writing in small groups all day as we tease out the characters and story beats to find out what works.
 
During these exercises we look at:
 
THE PUSH-AND-PULL OF DESIRE VS FEAR
Still single?  Why?
 
SECONDARY CHARACTERS
Mom and Pop, the sidekick bestie, the comedy ‘ex’
 
THE SETTING
What can it add to the plot?
 
If you’ve never written a romance drama screenplay before, come along and have some fun with other writers. 
 
If you’re stuck in the middle of your screenplay, try some exercises which may help you progress.
