📽️ Screenplay 101: Scribble Island Coaching in Creative Writing
For Writers Ready to Turn Their Big Screen Ideas into Captivating, Industry-Standard Scripts
🙌 Welcome
Writing for screen is an art—and a craft. From captivating scenes to clean formatting, a great screenplay needs both story and structure to stand out. But the leap from idea to industry-standard script can feel overwhelming, especially if you're not sure where to start or what’s expected.
This session is designed to help you bridge that gap. Whether you’re writing your first short film or preparing a full-length feature, you’ll gain the tools and industry insights you need to bring your screenplay to life—and give it a real shot at success.
🌿 Programme: Scribble Island
Scribble Island is a one-to-one coaching programme designed to support your creative development through focused, flexible sessions. Each session acts as a destination on your journey—meeting you where you are, then guiding you further with clarity, structure, and momentum.
The coaching style is bespoke, warm, and deeply practical—combining co-working, reflective exercises, and supportive resources tailored to your specific goals.
✍🏾 Pathway: Creative Writing
Scribble Island offers a range of thematic coaching pathways, and this session sits within the Creative Writing Pathway—crafted for storytellers, screenwriters, poets, and content creators who want to deepen their craft, align with their creative values, and grow more confident in their voice.
Screenplay 101 is perfect for writers who want to master the foundations of screenwriting—from idea to polished script. In this 3-hour session, we’ll unpack the essential elements of a professional screenplay, explore formatting conventions, and review resources that make the screenwriting process smoother and more cost-effective—no matter your level of experience.
🎯 Focus: Screenwriting Fundamentals
This focus is all about helping you write a screenplay that’s both creatively fulfilling and industry-ready. You’ll learn how to structure your script, format it correctly, and bring cinematic ideas to life on the page. From understanding character arcs and scene progression to using the right tools and software, you’ll leave equipped to write with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
