Creative Screenwriting doesn’t often feature news. We pride ourselves on delivering high quality interviews and craft articles with the best screenwriters in the business.
However, today I’d like to break with tradition and tell you about a virtual screenwriting conference taking place on the 15th-24th June, called (Virtually) Everything Story.
(V)ES Speakers
(Virtually) Everything Story
The event features an amazing roster of speakers including John Truby and Chris Vogler, plus Creative Screenwriting columnists and contributors James Napoli, Michael Hauge and Mindi White.
The registration price is $197, which gets you access to all 10 days of live workshops and interactive presentations, totalling 30 sessions of high-quality writing tuition.
Tickets are available up until the 14th June, but not after – so if you think this sounds interesting, you need to get a move on!
