Online Writing Day: Screenwriting (The fundamentals of writing for TV)

Run by Arvon

Playwright and screenwriter Ishy Din spends a Friday on Zoom testing whether an idea can carry a television series: its world, characters who generate plot, and a structure that keeps episodes coming. Participants apply each step to their own idea. Arvon charges GBP 90, with concession and funded places.

Starts Feb 19, 2027 (starts in 122 days)
