More Networking!

You've written a wonderful screenplay. It has everything: an intriguing premise, fleshed-out characters, crackling dialogue rich in subtext, a twisty plot, brisk pacing, and an emotional denouement. It's your masterpiece. Your baby. And it's ready to go out and rock the cinematic world. Or is it?

Michael Ray Brown, a top Hollywood script doctor and the founder of Story Sense, has more than 30 years experience helping writers create successful screenplays. A story analyst for seven major studios, he contributed to the development of such films as Lethal Weapon, Braveheart, Red Corner, Contact, Hart's War, and many more. Since leaving MGM in 1999, he has achieved high rankings as a script consultant, and is much in demand by writers, producers, and literary agents. A working screenwriter and frequent lecturer, Ihe has only one rule: The script must capture his interest, and keep him wanting to see what happens next. But how do you do this?
