"Develop Your Genre Story"** is our most comprehensive workshop yet. In six weeks you will develop your TV pilot, feature script, or novel. If you opt for Tier 2 you will create a roadmap or full outline for your project. If you opt for Tier 3, you will complete a teleplay, screenplay and/or chapters. All students will learn craft tools that acknowledge the difference between genres. You will also learn how to write a character-driven story, the secrets of a solid structure, and how to create a well-paced work. You will receive weekly constructive written notes and supportive feedback as your project develops.**

**Please note that we take a broad view of genre. For us, genre includes projects ranging from thriller to rom-com, from sci-fi or fantasy to crime drama or period, from western to action/adventure. If you aren't sure if you're a good fit, just email us at genre-masters@gmail.com.
