    "The program has provided me a level of professionalism that is recognized by my producers. I handle notes with ease, understanding the business decisions that are made throughout the process. I know how to provide solutions that move projects forward. I would never have achieved this level of quality without Hal, Cheryl and the phenomenal writers of the ScreenwritingU alumni."

    MSC has changed the way I look at myself as a writer, and the way I thought Hollywood operated— which is behind a closed door that said KEEP OUT. I received excellent coaching from Hal, worked hard elevating the quality of my writing, and when I went to market in Phase 2, I was prepared with a great script, logline and query. In just a few weeks I had 25 script requests, now up to 86. I’ve had 4 offers for writing assignments and I am in negotiations with a producer to get my script produced. If you want to go on an amazing journey, take the Master Screenwriting Course.

    In a nutshell, Hal Croasmun teaches you how to be a professional screenwriter. I just signed a deal for my first bonafide writing assignment and I could not have done it without ScreenwritingU.

    "Only part way through the MSC course, I have been hired to write a feature, optioned two screenplays and can now say I have a career as a screenwriter. It is all a direct result of the ProSeries and the MSC course. Without SU, I'd be a good writer, still without a presence in the industry. Now I'm a professional writer, working in it."

    "I LOVE the MSC - because it teaches you not only how to write your best script, but also how to market it and deal with producers. I can't recommend the MSC enough - it gives you all the tools you need to become a professional screenwriter that people in the industry want to work with. SU's reputation is constantly growing with industry insiders and it's well deserved."

    Just two weeks into the Master Screenwriting Certificate class and last week, inspired by the day’s lesson, I emailed a producer contact I only vaguely knew and asked to pick her brains about where to go with my projects. She arranged a Skype meeting, and by the end of that she’d requested four of my feature scripts. Every step of the way through that 40 minute conversation, I felt like Hal and Cheryl Croasmun were holding my hands and guiding me. Every question the producer asked me, about my loglines, scripts, strengths, the direction I want my career to take – anything she threw at me, I could answer off-the-cuff easily, calmly and confidently, and know I wasn’t screwing up my chances. That only reason for that is all I’ve learned through ScreenwritingU during the ProSeries, and since then through various other classes and belonging to the super-supportive ProSeries Alumni. A career relies on so much more than writing, and without the classes I’ve done in the past and am doing now, I sincerely doubt I would have had the guts or the credibility to achieve what I have so far. I truly cannot recommend ScreenwritingU highly enough.

    I entered ProSeries 51. I have to say I was pretty worried it wouldn’t help. So imagine my shock when I had improvements after just the first module. I’ll never forget that first call where I “pitched” my concept and the reaction was “So…now what?”. I didn’t have an answer! The character class is really where I knew I made the right decision though. By the time I had finished that and added the story skills…I couldn’t believe just how much better my script was. And you know what else? I took time off for a year to work on my script on my own but the ProSeries lessons were always in my head making my script better. I was so thrilled with how the ProSeries improved my writing I actually joined one of the Masterclasses. If you’re passionate and serious about it, and you have a really good story and you need to know how to tell it best…I recommend this class for sure. You will create a great script with these skills.

    I am a ProSeries 45B alumni. The class was amazing and helped me understand the writing process and the importance of treating writing as a business. As with any profession, one must learn the basics, which include the rules. Writing is no different and should never be treated as a game of chance. Anyone hoping to break into this very competitive industry MUST learn the rules. Take a ProSeries Class and follow up with a Mater Class. I did…
