This class is similar in structure to the DEVELOPMENTAL WORKSHOP, however, this workshop is limited to a smaller number of serious writers who are in the final stages of larger projects.
These projects can include readying a book proposal for agent submission, finishing a book already on contract for a publisher deadline, completing a full-length script for performance, a full screenplay, an ambitious long-form article portfolio, an extensive business plan, a multi-page website, etc.
Participation in the DEVELOPMENT INTENSIVE is a recommended prerequisite but not required. This class is designed to be an economical solution for those who want both weekly coaching and detailed manuscript feedback.
Class details:
- Eight in-person in NYC classes + ninth Class is Comped Admission and Priority Consideration for the Pitch-Palooza
- Three private phone or Skype coaching consultations (pre-class, midterm and completion)
- Most writers receive support for approx 12 weeks (classes plus private sessions)
