Hey everyone. Welcome back to the screenwriting life. I'm Meg Lofo. And I'm Lorian McKenna. And we are just back from Austin Film Festival where we were lucky to meet and get to know so many of you in person. And as always, you had such amazing questions. So we thought this would be a great time to do another mailbag episode. The other thing that came up at AFF a lot was that you guys would approach us to ask for more help,

how you can get in contact with Lauren and I directly for direct feedback on your stories,

how to make your craft better.

And the answer to all of those questions was the TSL workshops.

You know, honestly, so many of you didn't know about our workshops that we're going to take two minutes and talk about what they are.

Just so we make sure that you know it's out there and is a resource for you because honestly, we created it for you.

So we're just going to talk about it for a second here and then we'll jump into the show.

You can just go to our website, the screenwritinglife.com, and there's a little tab there that says

workshops and you can click there and get more information. For the people who are a part of TSL

workshops, what they have been telling me that they really love is having that access to us twice a month

because we do like a live questions and answers and then the story workshop which is the same thing we do at

AFF that is recorded live for one of our podcasts where we sort of dig in more deeply into your

story and I know that I get a lot out of those because that's cheating right how do I get

something out of what we're doing for you?

You know, the other thing that people are telling us is that they're learning a lot,

that even just from one or two workshops, because we also have recorded workshops on the site,

not just from myself and Lorian, the workshop I did many years at AFF that I'm not doing anymore

about creating emotional characters

is there. Lorraine has some workshops. We also have workshops from Pat Verduci and Sheila Han

Ranahan Taylor, which is a producer. So she's looking at things from her side. Like, for example,

she has one called 10 rookie mistakes. And they're really, we're trying to give you all different

sides from the producer side, from the writer's side, from the consultant side, but it's all about helping you increase your skill set.
