Development Collaboratory
Scriptwitch offers regular Development Collaboratory experiences.
If you have a script or story you are working on and you feel stuck, or need to tackle a rewrite, the Collaboratory is the perfect place to find inspiration and solutions.
What is a Scriptwitch Collaboratory? It is a gathering of no more than four participants, lead by Vicki, who share projects and writers' problems in a safe, supportive and confidential forum with the aim of improving their storytelling through the mentorship of fellow writers.
The philosophy of the Collaboratory is born of Vicki’s experience that writers are often much smarter about other people’s stories than they are about their own – and that an insight into another’s storytelling frequently represents a major breakthrough in our own writing.
The four gatherings of 2 hours apiece are divided into a half-hour introductory session, followed by 3 x 30 minute intensive trouble-shooting development sessions. Each participant will take a turn to read and respond to another writer’s work between gatherings, offering insights in the forum. Each introductory session will cover issues and concerns of storytelling and scriptwriting arising from these discussions.
