Rewriting!

from Screenwriting: From the Trenches · host Rob Hagans & Kay Tuxford

It seems odd that it's taken us 65 episodes to do one on the subject of rewriting, but here we are. Rob and Kay discuss not only the two types of rewriting (queryable vs note driven), but give out tips and tricks on how to develop a proper system that will yield you a bulletproof screenplay. Spoiler alert: it'll take you at least three drafts (and they tell you why). Our Weekly Resource: This week’s Resource: Grammerly! Rewriting is not only about potentially making different choices to your structure or characters, but also a chance to go back through and make sure you’ve spelled things correctly or made sure that each action line serves a purpose. Not to mention that typos and bad grammar annoy readers, especially when they're in the first few pages and that’s where something like Grammerly comes in. It’s free, works through various, easy-to-use platforms for both mac and PC, via app or via desktop and it’s 100% free. I know this sounds like an ad, but we’re not getting any money to say this, we’re just recommending it, Plus, it’s christmas, and maybe you want to gift yourself or another fellow screenwriter a paid LINK to register for the "How to Make a Movie for $1000" Virtual Workshop!
