In six personalised one-on-one sessions, writers will master the art of plotting their story, define and develop the premise, concept, theme and characters of their story, and take ownership of the writing process.

The Writing Studio's exciting new initiative for aspiring writers is aimed at delivering fresh, new screenplays for film and television, as well as stage plays to foster the growth of the local industries in South Africa.

The sessions commence once writers sign up and give them an opportunity to work at their own pace to maximise the dramatic or comedic potential of their work. Following the sessions, the projects will be developed through The Write Agency and submitted to potential producers internationally.

The Write Journey is presented by published journalist, screenwriter and playwright Daniel Dercksen, a respected film and theatre journalist for 30 years, and qualified ETD Practitioner (Education, Training and Development) - accredited by SAQA (The South African Qualifications Authority), working in accordance with the principles of the Department of Education focusing on outcomes-based education, training and development.
