SUMMARY:AWN Meeting Thursday February 20
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nA very special in-person workshop this Thursday\, the 20th – What Prose Writers Can Learn From Screen Writers \nIn this in-person workshop\, scriptwriter and novelist Scott Lasser will teach you the four main skills prose writers can learn from scriptwriters: structure\, scene writing\, concision\, and dialogue. He will also share how the game is played in Hollywood. Attached are the support materials for the workshop. From Scott:  \n“Here’s a 17-page pdf that we’ll use for reference on the 20th. It’s mostly snippets of scripts and outlines that we’ll use to discuss various points and skills. They don’t need to read it ahead of time\, BUT…if they take a look at the David Mamet memo (pages 7-11)\, they’ll likely find it useful.” \n\nScott Lasser is a scriptwriter\, novelist\, and journalist. He has written pilots for Sony and Fox\, among others. He developed Jackson State for HBO\, a project set in the world of amateur baseball and the opioid epidemic. He’s also written for HBO’s True Detective. Lasser’s first novel (Battle Creek/William Morrow) was optioned by Scott Rudin/Paramount; Lasser wrote an adaption of his fourth novel\, Say Nice Things About Detroit (Norton)\, for Warner Brothers and Steve Carell’s Carousel Productions. His journalism has appeared in the New Yorker\, the New York Times\, and elsewhere. \nConnect With Your Writer Muses & Empower Your Writing \nThursday\, February 20 at Bonfire Coffee from 6:30-8:30 p.m. \nBECOME A MEMBER [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
