Online script writing courses

Okieslims · Mar 5, 2008

Can anybody suggest a good one? I've taken one online course in my life, and I regreted it because I could have just gotten a book for 1/4th of the price and learned the same amount. I'm looking for a nice interactive course. Link em if ya got em

Thanks

Is there no chance you could find a "live" course instead? It's so much better - also in regards of networking.

Well, I'm going to look into it, but I doubt there will be anything involving script writing. I live in Oklahoma. I could probably get into a creative writing course though. Your right though. A live course would be a lot more beneficial.

I haven't taken any of these, so I can't speak of their quality. But you might try a Writer's Digest or UCLA online class.

I've taken in classroom courses at UCLA Extension. They're pricey, but good if money's not an issue.

You might look into in person classes in Playwriting, Creative Writing, and Improv/ Comedy. I don't know where you are in OK, but the major uni's usually have creative writing and playwriting classes.

The best way to learn is by doing it. A few pointers is very useful, but if your not careful, you can spend all your time studying the technical side, and not enough time actually writing. There are loads of books available, and stuff on my site!!!
