We look forward to seeing both Atlanta’s screenwriting and fiction community at the seminar.

These techniques are equally effective for enhancing the artistry of novelists and playwrights.)

Ridiculously Inexpensive ($29) Extra Class #1: The Advanced Dialogue Teleseminar
Upgrade your dialogue skills forever with this teleseminar on Saturday, May 14, at 10:00 PST (California time), which is 2:00pm Atlanta time.
When a producer, director or actor reads your script, long before they ever get to your plot, and long before they ever get a full sense of your characters, they encounter your dialogue –– usually beginning on Page 1.
And that's how they judge you. By page 3, they've often made up their mind whether they want to keep reading, or put down your script forever. But if your dialogue surprises, grips, and moves them, they take notice and eagerly keep reading.
After you register, you'll be given a link to a special web page where you can see the film and TV clips online, and download the script selections for those same clips. That way, in the teleseminar, you'll be ready for revelation after revelation, technique after technique by David.
