Make It Pretty

A two-day Zoom script formatting workshop

You spend so much time and effort on your story and characters. Why ruin it all with shoddy formatting? A messy script that is not industry-standard can very quickly move it to the bottom of a reader/potential agent/producer’s pile. Izzy Kay, who has read thousands of scripts for producers, studio execs and professional coverage resources, will make formatting second nature to you. And formatting is fun! This workshop will include one assignment and feedback.

We've Got You Covered

A one-day Zoom workshop filled with advice from a professional reader.

Are you aiming to submit your script to Blacklist, Roadmaps Writers, film festivals and/or competitions? What will make readers sit up and take notice? What will cause them to put your script down right away? Izzy Kay is a longtime professional reader for producers, studio execs and script writing platforms. She’ll give you the inside scoop so you’ll raise your chances for submission success (and sh! - tell you where you might be wasting your money).
