We want to make your screenwriting journey as comfortable and successful as possible.
EXPERT MODELS: Every class is based upon an expert model. We’ve interviewed over 750 producers, 120 agents and managers, and over 100 A-list screenwriters to create models that work in today’s industry.
CLASS DELIVERY: Our Classes are delivered via email, private forums, and audio. and posted online in a private class forum between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM Pacific Time.
ASSIGNMENTS: The purpose of assignments is to have you learn in a much deeper way. Each assignment comes with a deadline of 24 to 72 hours, depending on the nature of the assignment. Over time, you’ll get comfortable with deadlines and use them to be more creative. The deadlines are there to keep people moving forward. You are welcome to go at your own pace and there is no penalty for missing the deadline, but they help prepare you to work with producers who are constantly on deadline.
POSTING YOUR ASSIGNMENTS: Once you complete the assignment you post it in the private class forum and then you can look at how your classmates did the same assignment, it's a great way to learn!
LEARNING: ScreenwritingU creates their class with our proprietary model of “33 Ways People Learn” to make sure the learning experience can be life changing.
FEEDBACK: Feedback is just one way people learn, and sometimes actually shuts writers down. So we are careful about what feedback structures are designed into each program. Most of our classes focus on Advanced Peer Feedback Template, which helps you improve your project and get good at giving and receiving “industry notes” at the same time.
If you ever need clarification on the class content we are here for you. Just contact support@screenwritingu.com and we’ll get you an answer as quickly as we can.

Over my 74 years I've taken, and taught, a lot of classes. These are the first I've ever taken where I felt like I walked into the classroom, had the teacher put a book and lesson plan on my desk, and then walked out, never to be heard from again. I don't know why you have chosen to not reply to my emails, but it's keeping me from considering any further classes.
I do appreciate the teaser lessons, and I do learn things from them. But, I don't agree with the way you run your classes.
Just my thoughts.
I have to agree with those who felt they were being ignored when trying to communicate with Hal unless, of course, your interested in the program in which he will respond immediately! I tried to find out when the classes started if I could roll my tuition into a future class due to some unexpected personal issues. Tried and tried to reach him by email and then a voicemail but to no avail. So I got behind right away and since that time have taken all the class assignments we get by email and have forward them to a folder. I am planning on starting the sessions next week and I will not be very happy if access is denied for some reason . I
I also signed up for the monthly payments which are deducted like clockwork!
I'm totally frustrated, no access, and no replies to my messages over 7 days, when will you reply?
I have no access to anything, forums or otherwise.
Personally I'm starting to think ypu've ripped me off
