Film Analysis If you're eager to break into the world of script writing, Gotham Writers’ Workshop can point you in the right direction. We have courses in:

Screenwriting: writing scripts for feature-length films
TV Writing: writing scripts for episodic TV dramas and comedies
Playwriting: writing scripts for stage plays

Though there are many similarities between these forms, there are also significant differences. If you’re hoping to write something and see it produced (somewhere, even in a small theatre) in a relatively short time, you have the best chance by writing a play.  Breaking into the professional world of screenwriting and TV writing is usually a long haul.

To further enhance your study of script writing, we have courses in:
