The Two Stories Inside Every Novel & Script
Screenwriter and master instructor Mark Sevi pulls back the curtain on how screenwriters turn big, messy ideas into stories that work. Mark will walk us through creating a clear, flexible story outline that will transform your story idea into a manageable road map to writing the next great American Novel!
So if you’re bursting with a great idea but don’t know where to start, determined to write a complete and satisfying story, or stuck midway through a novel that won’t quite take off—or land—this presentation will offer practical tools, a fresh perspective, and a proven framework to help you move forward with confidence.
