Hello everyone, so recently I've been looking for a Script Consultant, after thinking about it, after I get this script submitted, I should take one or two screen writing courses. The issue is I don't know where to look or where to start. For anyone here, any recommendations for online courses?
Hi, Justin Groats. Email success@stage32.com. They'll give you some recommendations.

Hat tip to you Justin for wanting to invest in yourself! I recommend Chris Vogler's book "The Writer's Journey". This book focuses on the journey and mythic quest. Jump over to John Truby's website www.truby.com -- when the page loads click on "Classes" (it's in the center). You can purchase his audio classes for approximately $59 and download the MP3s. Do listen to it, them like a student in class and take notes (the more senses involved the more you learn). Also on Truby's site you can read his breakdown of movies which will help you learn and master storytelling.

Lindbergh E Hollingsworth Thanks for the information, after thinking about it I also took the liberty of looking a multitude of books on screenwriting, something I should have done a long time ago, as for classes I am hoping for something more visual, since my attention span is terrible for audio classes, but I appreciate the suggestion

If you are aware that you're attention span is short, focus on training, learning to have a longer span. "Where you are weak, you must grow strong!" Have at it...
