Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about our scriptwriting courses and creative writing programs
When do courses begin and how long do they run?
Our comprehensive scriptwriting fundamentals program launches in
September 2025, running for 8 months with flexible weekend
sessions.
We've designed the program around working professionals and
students. Most participants find the weekend format works well with
their existing commitments. The September start gives everyone time
to settle into routines before the intensive creative work begins.
- Weekend workshops every fortnight
- Optional weekday study groups available
- Summer break in December/January
- Flexible catch-up sessions for missed workshops
What experience level do I need to join?
No prior screenwriting experience required. We welcome complete
beginners alongside those with some creative writing background.
About half our participants are complete newcomers to
scriptwriting, while others have dabbled in creative writing or
have ideas they want to develop. The beauty of starting with
fundamentals means everyone builds the same solid foundation,
regardless of where they begin.
- Beginner-friendly curriculum from day one
- Mixed experience groups for peer learning
- Individual progress tracking
- No portfolio or writing samples needed to enroll
How do I know if this program suits my goals?
Our program focuses on storytelling fundamentals that apply whether
you're writing shorts, features, or exploring other formats.
Rather than promising specific career outcomes, we concentrate on
building solid creative skills. Participants often discover new
directions they hadn't considered initially. Some focus on personal
projects, others explore collaborative opportunities, and many
simply enjoy the creative process itself.
- Character development and dialogue techniques
- Story structure across different formats
- Practical writing exercises and peer feedback
- Understanding industry standards and formats
