Ever get notes that your script feels "slow" but you can't figure out why — even though your pages hit all the "right" beats? You're not alone. Most writers were taught pacing as a formula (hit this beat by this page), when in reality it's about controlling the audience's emotional experience. That disconnect is exactly why so many scripts feel rushed in some places and sluggish in others, even when they're technically "on structure."
That's what we're digging into in Pacing & Scene Rhythm: How to Control the Speed of Your Script, taught by AZ Yeamen — a writer who's sold nearly every script she's written and story edited for AMC's Covenant on ALLBLK. In one hour, you'll learn the three pacing techniques pros use to keep readers hooked, plus walk away with a downloadable Story Pacing Guide you can apply to your own script. Hope to see you there!

A great topic to discuss! When a script has a slick rhythm and flow it can make a reader really tune in to the story you are telling. The benefits in reader immersion are invaluable and can make your project a must-read.
