from the author of Final Draft's
While this page is designed for young (i.e. student) playwrights, no matter how old you are, if you've made it this far, feel free to keep on reading and learn all you can. This page is an official part of the reading/visiting list for the Scriptwriting course, part of the English Department's Writing Major at Edge Hill College, Ormskirk, Lancashire, UK 01695 575171. HAVE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? Click on the "contact" button. Just tell me your first name, your age (or grade/year) and city/state (or country). Ask me general questions about writing, suggest topics you'd like me to discuss or just say hello! Unfortunately, I cannot read specific projects except through my script critique service (click on the "script consulting" button on the left).
I have been to numerous schools as a guest artist, talking to classes and helping students learn how to write plays. Want me to visit yours? I love traveling and working with young people. You provide transportation, lodging and a stipend to cover meals and my time, and you can have me spending anywhere from a day to a week or more (I do consider longer residencies, schedule permitting) teaching at your school. Want to do something even more awesome? Commission me to write a new play to world premiere at your school! Email me for more information.
Want to stay in the loop as I add new information and contest opportunities to the Young Playwrights Page, and discuss playwriting with other young playwrights?
PLUS BOOKS, SOFTWARE AND SUPPLIES THROUGH Because of my work with The Writers Store and Final Draft, full-time students and teachers that I refer get a special deal on the top scriptwriting software on the market, even lower than the already low $149 academic rate. Email me here for more info. And for all your writing needs, from software to books about playwriting (for example, the excellent writings of Jeffrey Sweet) to writing supplies, click on the link to The Writers Store (and hey, I get a commission if you do!).
Visit The Writers Store's Playwriting101.com, for which I wrote the content, and my articles about playwriting on the Final Draft website. Both are full of information for writers of all ages, so take a look!
I hope you find my page useful. But don't find it so useful that you reproduce any part of it without getting my permission first AND without properly crediting me. Reproducing my work without permission is a violation of copyright law. That having been said, here we go--good luck!
