Details
Hello Fellow Scribblers!
I am very pleased to announce that o n August 24th, 2011 Wednesday Night 7pm-9pm,
two of the top screenwriting consultants in Hollywood have agreed to give us an insider's look into the family entertainment market.
This is a great opportunity for us writers to figure out what writing projects will sell in today's market, and how to make our books more marketable.
The best part is that this event is FREE!
HOWEVER---
If you're interested in buying copies of their amazing books (I have all their books & they have been incredibly helpful in my own writing), you simply HAVE TO EMAIL ME THE TITLE OF THE BOOK/BOOKS YOU WISH TO ORDER AS SOON AS YOU RSVP FOR THE EVENT (nutschell@yahoo.com).
That way, I can let the authors know how many copies they need to bring & you can have them signed by the authors after their talk.
These are the titles of their books: They are each selling cheaper, as the authors are not charging for sales tax or shipping expenses.

SYMBOLS AND THE DARK SIDE IN FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT? YES, YOU NEED IT.
Too many stories for young people, whether on screen or on the page, lack the core requirement for a great tale – an appropriate, believable antagonist and real challenges for the protagonist.
