Hey, welcome to the screenwriting life. I'm Meg Lafour.

And I'm L'Orian McKenna. We are professional screenwriters. We've worked together as a team and

separately. We've worked on studio and indie films, live action and animation, from my

work on Inside Out and Captain Marvel. To my work in Pixar Story Department on Up, Brave, and Inside Out.

We are here to share our insights on the craft of screenwriting and also the life,

had to not only survive the ups and downs but thrive.

We want to help you become the best screenwriter

you can be and to reassure you that you are not alone on this journey.
