TESTIMONIALS:
Will and his course were both fantastic. Will is really friendly, approachable and incredibly knowledgeable, and generous with his knowledge. A lot of screenwriting/TV writing courses are written by people who never successfully worked in the industry and Will’s experience as a working screenwriter was invaluable. I was so impressed by how quickly he was able to help us sculpt our pilots from our lumpy clay ideas that we brought into week 1 of the class. Would absolutely recommend to anyone! – The Reader student
Will‘s knowledge and enthusiasm for screenwriting is wonderful and his experience evident! This was the perfect course for me to learn the basics of screenwriting. I’m so grateful I attended. I would definitely do more courses with Will if offered. Thank you. – The Reader student
