Your screenplay has ten pages to captivate a reader before they decide whether to continue or move on to the next script in their towering pile. In this essential session, veteran script editor Lucy V. Hay reveals exactly what happens in those crucial first moments when your screenplay lands on a reader’s desk.
Drawing from over two decades of experience working with writers at all levels – from newcomers to BAFTA and Oscar winners – Lucy offers an unfiltered look at what readers are searching for and the red flags that can doom your script before it ever reaches page 11.
Through analysis of successful and unsuccessful openings across different genres, Lucy will demonstrate exactly what works, what doesn’t, and why.
As the force behind the popular Bang2write blog and author of multiple novels and storytelling guides, Lucy combines practical industry experience with a passion for helping writers craft stories that sell. This session will help you transform your first ten pages into an irresistible invitation to keep reading.
Lucy’s straightforward, no-nonsense approach will help you identify and fix the issues holding your screenplay back.
