so, you want to be a writer?

One of the best ways to become a better, stronger writer is to absorb as much content as you can! Read, read voraciously. Listen to books, podcasts, read newspapers, watch TV and watch movies. But more than just absorbing content, start analysing it. Learning to watch movies like a writer is such a useful way to hone your narrative powers. Start noticing things like characterisation, setting, dialogue, tension, conflict and how the resolution hits a happy ending. What works for you and why? And what doesn't, and why not? 

In these fun, lively conversations, the How to Write Academy hosts break down some film classics, highlighting all of the above, and then some. Get a hot drink (or a cold one!) and come join us as we help you hone your skills as a writer.
