Denver Screenwriters (DSW)
A Screenwriting Community.  A High Lever Resource.  A Catalyst.

Lead by a 30-year entertainment industry pro, the Denver Screen Writers' Meetup is a screenwriting collective dedicated to connecting and educating screenwriters who want to increase their both their craft and industry knowledge. Our goal is to get your script marketplace competitive!

A very rare opporutnity to have multiple opportunities every month to share your work and learn from an MFA professor for the very low cost of $25 a year!

WE ARE AN ONLINE COMMUNITY. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE IN COLORADO TO COME PLAY!

DSW is in the process of being recreated by its members, and so far, we know we will be featuring the following:

Ø Story Breaking Sessions - Writers will be chosen randomly to pitch their stories to Trai and their fellow writers and we'll evaluate the strength of the character build and arcs, the plot, the themes, and so on. THE essential development tool to make your writing go smoothly!

Ø Table Read Workshops - Writers will bring up to 8 pages of their scripts, cast it among the attendees, and receive a live table read and 20 minutes of workshop of what's working and what can be improved upon.

Ø Screenwriting Classes - Trai Cartwright, your fearless leader, conducts monthly classes that cover craft elements (ie, character build, structure, theme, narrative, etc. etc.) as well as business (ie, hacking Hollywood, writing the low budget script, pitch materials, etc. etc.).

Ø Story Deconstruction - Sometimes Trai gets a hair up to break down the first 2-10 pages of a script, or conduct a script-to-screen review, or just go on a rant on a bad movie (we're looking at you, Argo!)

Ø Craftwrite Discounts -  Trai will also be offering to the public 6 and 8 week classes (Screenwriting, Advanced Screenwriting, Writing the TV Pilot, etc. etc.), and has an editorial business that has helped hundreds of writers get their scripts in shape for contests, fellowships, and pitching to agents and producers. DSW members will receive a 10% discount to all Craftwrite Services.  www.craftwrite.com
