Residuals - a Screenwriting Newsletter

Unlike most jobs, screenwriting requires something new every time the writer sits down. That means this job isn’t just difficult, it’s also psychological torture even for those with a lot of experience.

Residuals is an exploration of the craft and business of screenwriting, community writing challenges, advice, community chat, experiments, tools, and updates from the perspective of a professional screenwriter/producer. The goal isn’t to have all the answers, but to ask the right questions so we all can build our careers together.

A mix between my work in the writers room and the screenwriting courses I teach, this space combines my two favorite things: helping other writers learn perspective and tools to build their own careers, and getting deep into the weeds of ways to make this unpredictable career a bit kinder on our fragile psyches.

Free subscriptions will have occasional posts, or choose a paying membership if you want to dive into the deep end with me.
