                                          Screenwriting
 


I've always wanted to write a screenplay, and recently finished postgraduate studies in
Comedy Script Writing. The course is geared for those wanting to write feature film, TV or variety. If you're interested, check it out. The School of Comedy (Humber College) is just around the corner from where I live in Toronto, but this program is done by correspondence and there are students from around the globe. 

I learned a lot and completed two romantic comedy screenplays. It's something I'll be pursuing in the future, as well as writing books. The funny thing is, screenwriting has helped me in my novel writing--visualizing scenes, condensing dialogue, and structuring the plot.  I loved the program!  If you have any questions for a former student feel free to
email me.
