    I won the Nicholl Fellowship in Screenwriting from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and my work has been mentioned in the New York Times, Fade In and W Magazine. I've sold several options and had Academy Award-winning actors attached to my projects. I read over 450 screenplays a year from both amateurs and professionals. You might best know me from the Youtube Channel -- WORD DANCER - How to write a screenplay. I believe learning screenwriting should be FUN!

  • Great class

    Even though I am close to fishing the course I really enjoy the style of teaching it is very easy and fun not like some other classes in which they are boring and not that great. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to be a writer.

    I loved the content of the course. The concepts were explained in a clear way with great examples. The workbook was perfect as well. My only, slight, complaint was that I wish the videos were, roughly, the same length. It was a bit annoying to watch 1-3-minute videos and have to be constantly clicking to get to the next one. I think 5-8=minute videos are the perfect length.

    I've taken several online screenwriting classes, and this one is the most helpful, affordable one I've taken. Taking the class helped me understand a key reason why I struggled with previous script efforts (I entered the danger zone too soon in the stories). I also like that Word Dancer/Pamela doesn't push rules, instead presenting the reasons why some approaches tend to work better than others and the challenges with certain choices. I also like that she focuses on how to grow your story idea into a full story and how to present story context in an entertaining and efficient way. With Plot Ninja and her storytelling Black Belt class, you learn the fundamentals of story design and screenwriting at a fraction of what most instructors are charging.

    … until it's hard-wired in me as a screen writer. Most of all I think -- because Miss Pamela is sweet in the delivery and highly articulate -- the instruction here will force me to never be satisfied with 'okay'. Her 'off the cuff' (they're actually well thought out) suggestions for putting meat on the bones of 'okay' scenes are just terrific. Hard to imagine a new screen writer getting better guidance.

    I love the way the course is based on short videos-- it doesn't feel overwhelming. I like that you can stop and start the course at any time. I enjoy the instructor's YouTube channel, as well.
