This is an organized workshop for seasoned writers. I have an MFA in Creative Writing and am working on multiple projects. I teach and write novels, short stories, screenplays, stage plays poetry and essays. We will cover all of these genres with hands on writing assignments in class. In addition we will do ancillary reading to reinforce examples of good writing in each genre.

… We provide assistance in the creation of works for film, television, video, and web, plus help individuals present their work to the industry through our annual Screenwriting Contest. CSN offers a script exchange, networking with film industry peers, a monthly speaker’s program, and a sense of community to members. We encourage meetings of all sorts -- small, large, anything that helps you finish your screenplay.

… INTENSIVE WORKSHOPS Our 1-day screenwriting bootcamp last fall was such a hit that we're bringing it back this year. Once again, we'll have screenwriting professionals and teachers take you through the elements of an effective and "marketable" screenplay. But we're also adding new workshops to provide an intensive introduction for beginners and novices. Stay tuned for more information.
