During this special, all-day seminar, Hollywood script and story consultant Michael Hauge, best-selling author of Writing Screenplays That Sell and Selling Your Story in 60 Seconds: The Guaranteed Way to Get Your Screenplay or Novel Read, will present his unique approach to creating compelling fiction, and to eliciting emotion in your readers. Using clips from recent blockbuster love stories and romantic comedies, along with hands on exercises, Michael will help you strengthen your story concepts, plot structure, love stories, character development and themes.

As an added bonus, on Sunday morning Michael will do an in depth analysis of the film LARS AND THE REAL GIRL, using it to illustrate the essential principles of story structure, character arc, love stories and romantic comedies.

Topics covered will include:
