Ever wish you had a pro screenwriter whispering the secrets of how to create and sustain a writing career in your ear each week? (And how to enjoy the ride!) This is exactly what you’ll get when you tune into the Script Reader Pro podcast with pro writer, Scott Parisien, and his co-host Desiree. We’re a small group of story analysts who are also professional screenwriters. We’ve written scripts, been produced, know how the business works and how to break into it. And in this podcast, we’ll show you how. Our speciality? Taking long-winded, often contradictory and confusing screenwriting theories and turning them into actionable, step-by-step processes. On the podcast, we answer listener questions, read your loglines, scenes, and break down what works and what doesn’t in professional scripts. We also have guests on—from writers, to actors, to managers and producers—to share their experiences and hands-on advice too. Our aim is for you to not just listen passively, but go away knowing how to apply what you’ve heard to your own work right away. Whether you want to know how to start writing a script, or you’ve written 10 but had minimal success, or even if you’ve sold several scripts but are having trouble sustaining your career, we’ve got you covered. So join Scott and Desiree for a weekly screenwriting deep dive, and let’s help fulfill your creative dreams of becoming a paid and (always) working writer.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
