In an age where everyone makes regular trips to their local gym to stay healthy, it is important for writers to keep writing effectively and remain in a perfect state of creative health; where ideas flow freely and projects are completed.
When you're working on your script and bump up against writer's block, or some other irritating writing dilemma, you need a trusted expert to turn to in your time of need.
Fortunately, you can call The Write Trainer to get skilled guidance right away.
The Write Trainer is a professionally-trained screenwriting coach that will provide customised assistance based on your own screenwriting goals.
Having a regular appointment with a writing coach will make you accountable for your script, and gives you the unprecedented attention and input you need to get your blockbuster completed.

The Write Trainer program includes:

The Write Personalised Assessment
You and your trainer will discuss your writing experience and review your screenplay, idea and/or outline. The Write Trainer provides customised guidance based on your own writing goals, and can take you from first glimmer of an idea to a final draft, all the while addressing your specific writing needs.

The Write Project Path
Based on your script idea and personal goals, your trainer will provide a specific Project Path to keep you motivated and on-track with your writing

The Write Scheduled Sessions
Choose 1 hour  weekly or bi-weekly meetings, where you'll work privately with your trainer on the elements of your screenplay if you are based in Cape Town. This can also be done via correspondence

The Write Feedback
Your trainer will motivate and inspire you, and provide both verbal and written feedback on your work

The Write Choice > You have two choices in personal training:

Accomplish Your Writing Goals
From first glimmer of an idea to final draft, The Write Trainer will guide you every step of the way.
How many times have you told yourself that this is the year you'll finally write that screenplay, stageplay or novel?
Maybe you even jotted down the first ten pages or more, only to give up in frustration when the words stopped flowing.
You have the ideas. You have a passion for writing. So what's the missing element that keeps you from completing a saleable screenplay?
Without a clearly defined writing plan and a skilled expert to steer you through the process, getting from FADE IN to FADE OUT can be an arduous task.
Unlike classes and workshops, there are no one-size-fits-all theories or pre-set lessons, only one-on-one meetings where The Write Trainer will develop and implement a powerful strategy to help you reach your writing objectives.
Having a regular appointment with a writing coach will make you accountable for your script, and gives you the unprecedented attention and input you need to get your blockbuster completed.

Cost > The cost of each session is R300 for the first hour; thereafter R250 per hour. This excludes evaluation of full length scripts.
