One recurring theme in my London Film Festival notes: making good work involves uncertainty, imperfect drafts and other people.

The emerging writers spoke about difficult first drafts and the pleasure of rewriting. Pippa Harris emphasised distinctive voices. Ava DuVernay spoke about shared passion. Brad Bird described the long journey of a project he continued to believe in.

Different experiences, with useful reminders for anyone developing a screenplay.

Which would help your project most right now: finishing a draft, getting thoughtful feedback, or clarifying what you want to say?

These are my takeaways from the conversations, paraphrased from my notes.

New to screenwriting?

Here are three things worth making time for:

✍️ Learn the craft — get curious about character, story and structure.�
🤝 Find your people — writing feels less lonely with others cheering you on.
�🎬 Get your words off the page — reading a scene aloud with a friend can teach you plenty.

Start small.

You can learn a lot by giving things a go.

What does it take to get your script picked up by a major studio?

For one of our coaching clients, whose project was eventually picked up by MGM Amazon Studios, it wasn't about one lucky break.

It was about making strategic decisions, pursuing the right opportunities and taking things one step at a time.

There's no guaranteed route to success. But knowing where to focus your efforts can make all the difference.

That's what we'll be exploring at How To Get Your Script Made, our in-person workshop in London on 7 November.

Screenwriting doesn't start when you open your scriptwriting software.

So much of the work happens before you write a single scene.

Exploring ideas. Developing characters. Working out the story. Testing what works and what doesn't.

As Rian Johnson reminds us, the thinking and planning are just as much a part of writing as the pages themselves.

How much planning do you do before starting your first draft?

Finished your script. Now what?

Agents, producers, competitions, networking, funding… the list of things you could be doing is endless.

But being busy doesn't necessarily mean making progress.

The key is knowing where to focus your time and energy.

That's exactly what we'll be exploring at How To Get Your Script Made, our in-person workshop in London on 7 November.

Feeling like you're a writer but not sure how to get started?

Start small and just get down those ideas, however fragmentary they are.

Find a method that works you and make it a habit.

Is it...
Knowing who to approach?
Getting people to read your work?
Building relationships with producers?
Finding representation?
Knowing which opportunities are actually worth pursuing?
Or simply working out what you should be doing next?
We'd genuinely love to know.

You have to love the idea you're writing because you're going to spend a long time working on this script.

Can the idea you're working on sustain your interest?

Finding the right producer is only part of the challenge.

How you approach them matters too.

We'll be talking about industry relationships – alongside the different routes available to your project – at How To Get Your Script Made on 7 November in London.

Is your protagonist having it too easy? đź‘€

Giving your protagonist obstacles isn't enough. Those obstacles need to get harder as the story progresses.

Otherwise, you risk losing the one thing that keeps an audience hooked: tension.
