AUTHOR! AUTHOR! This is one of our most exciting Courses!

An excellent Course that offers you a unique opportunity to develop a full or part-time career writing for film, television and video. A popular highlight of this Course is the comprehensive information on writing screenplays for Hollywood.

With this Course we will take you on a vast journey of learning - from developing script ideas through to the art of professional writing, layout and format procedures to those long-awaited two words . . . 'THE END'!

We've all heard stories about the cruel movie business. Writing scripts is a hard way to make a living but a fine way to starve right? Not once you know how to go about it! As you'll discover, the demand for script writers is increasing daily.

Pay TV is straining the resources of Australian scriptwriters. As is the introduction of TV infomercials.

The increasing calls for additional Australian content on TV is also creating more and more opportunities for scriptwriters. So, too, is the increasing popularity of the Australian film industry both here and internationally.

We only have to witness the explosive market demand for sales, corporate and training videos to understand that, in today's competitive market, reliable script writers are now hot property.

This Course will show you how to write screenplays, telemovies, television series episodes, sitcoms and soaps, documentaries, advertising commercials, corporate, training and 'how to' videos.



To support and further the aims of Professional Scriptwriting students of the Australian College of Journalism, the Australian Writers' Guild is providing six free six-month memberships for the most outstanding scripts submitted in this Course in 2004.

The Australian Writers' Guild awarded 5 memberships in 2003 to students, who were thrilled that their scripts had been chosen.

If the successful students are already members of the Guild, then their existing membership will be extended for a further period of six months.
Script assessment and the many other benefits of membership for aspiring and seasoned scriptwriters can be found on the Guild's website:

The AWG is the professional association for all performance writers, that is, writers for film, television, radio, theatre, video and new media. The AWG was established in 1962 and is recognised throughout the industry in Australia as being the voice of performance writers.

Information about this membership opportunity along with the names of the winning students will be posted on the College website in the sponsorships pages.

Outstanding scripts will be selected by the College. The judges decision is final and no further correspondence will be entered it.
