Course Objective

The Fun and Practical Dramatic Writing Course has been designed to get you excited about creating your own work. The workbook along with each module provides additional guidance and encourages you to participate in exercises. The lessons feel very conversational. Bigger topics are split into two or three lessons, making them more accessible and much easier to take in. The instructor's own experiences are encouraging. He’s felt every frustration a writer feels and this is clear from the onset. By the end of the course, you will have a completed short script ready to send to theatres, publishers, or contests.

I think all writers should take up this course, Even if or not they are struggling in completion of a script. Grand Thanks Sir.. I could never have imagined myself being so satisfied as a writer , had my friend not recommended this course to me. 5 STARS . WORTHY OF TIME AND PRICE. Infact , i never came across such superb course at such pocket friendly price. Believe me in the beginning, i was doubtful of the course content as i could never believe a super course like this at such affordable price. But im still surprised!!! as i had done really expensive worthless courses ten times the price of this course and gained nothing out of them. THANKYOU SO MUCH✌👌
