Silver Screenwriting

“How can a writer write a memorable spec script that helps get them staffed? Why is it so hard to write a TV pilot script that could not only help to get you noticed, but could sell? Teaching the writer to write a standout TV spec script and pilot script is my goal.

It is harder now than ever to get your scripts to land at the top of the pile. I have always believed that strong writing will rise. I have helped launch countless writing careers. While doing so, I have noticed some commonalities in the writers who make it. The biggest thing I’ve noticed is belief in self and a burning desire to make it happen.

If the writer starts their career with purpose, puts the work into writing the strongest scripts possible, learns the craft of storytelling and envisions success, it will happen. Learning the craft is the part that takes time and dedication. A large part of what I teach is getting the writer to draw from their truth and fictionalize it into their writing. I wrote a book, Story Line: Finding The Gold In Your Life Story that heavily explores this philosophy. It comes out in March of 2011. Guiding writers to understand this concept and a breakthrough method for constructing strong story that I’ve discovered has garnered big results.”
