Who is this for?

This course is for aspiring and professional writers for TV, film, or novels who:

•Has a concept or story burning inside them, but isn’t sure how to fully bring it to the page•Feels excited about their story, but lives with the fear that no one else will connect with it the way they do•Struggles to write deep, believable characters or to make their plot unfold naturally from the story•Finds themselves stuck, rewriting the same scenes, and second-guessing if their story is even worth finishing•Wants someone who truly understands the industry to give them feedback that actually helps•Needs a safe space to be vulnerable in their writing and create something that will open doors with agents, managers, publishers, etc.

If any of that sounds like you, this course is exactly what you need. I can’t wait to welcome you inside.

What’s in it for you?

This is your backstage pass to everything I’ve used to help writers finish projects, sell scripts, and get their ideas noticed.

Every class, module, tool, and piece of feedback you get will help you see what your story is really about and the emotional truth that draws readers in and makes them care.

You’ll learn how to write characters with real depth (shaped by their wounds, desires, flaws) and how to move your story forward without forcing the plot.

And you’ll get live access to me and working writers who know the industry inside out, with the opportunity to pitch your work.

Jen Grisanti gave me the tools to mine my own experiences and translate them into any genre. She has rare expertise in crafting the story with emotional depth and efficient structure… And what’s more, she’s an ace at teaching others how to do it.

Gina Monreal, Co-Executive Producer – NCIS

★★★★★

Many instructors preach ‘write what you know,’ but Jen’s method is more ‘write what you feel.’ She recognizes that every writer has unique experiences to draw on, and she helps you access them to turn them into stories with a beating heart on the page.

Rick Muirragui, Executive Producer – Suits

★★★★★

Jen coached me through a script that helped me land a top agent and a gig writing for an extensive network sitcom. Because of her, I never start breaking the story on a pilot until I figure out my main character’s dilemma. I never blow an act without thinking, ‘Is this an obstacle to the goal?’ Her methods and terminology work. They get me meetings and jobs. Simple as that.

So if you want to write stories that stick and create a thriving career out of it…
