The TWO DRAFTS / TWO POLISHES Seminar!

Hi – this is Art:

I want to thank all of you for join us over the last few months on our teleseminar series and on our very successful 10 week STORYSKILLS class. Over 1400 of you took part is what Writer’s Magazine has recently called “The Most Powerful and Most Convenient writing study course available today”.

I designed StorySkills is the first step into learning the craft of writing - not from a theoretical standpoint but from one of a working, producing writer.  It is an excellent start and begins to fill your Writer's Toolbox with techniques that you can really use to build your skills.

Now, it's time to take the next step...

Today, I’m announcing our new 6-week writing seminar course,  designed to improve the process and speed of novelists and screenwriters alike. 

It’s entitled “Two Drafts/ Two Polishes” (2D/2P), and it’s essentially just that: a process for reducing the amount of work on your next novel or screenplay down to just two drafts and two short polishes. 

It’s based upon the methods I use to teach professional screenwriters in my private practice.

• Imagine a way to get the best possible visualization of your story out of your mind and on to the page the first time. 
• Imagine being able to FULLY see your story before you even begin writing!
• How many drafts and how many hours could you cut out of the process this way? 2D/2P can teach you the way that professionals write  - and much more.

Briefly the process works like this:

• We start with the enhanced STORY DREAMING technique, which teaches you how to SEE the entire story from the very beginning, to understand how YOU can access the stories that you are best at the very first time out.
• Then we show you the best way to create the first  (or DREAM DRAFT) of your work, naturally and organically bringing the most complete version of the story from you the first time -  and through the use of our String of Pearls Method, we can help create stories without early on worrying about strict structure
• And, since the power of writing comes from your ability to rewrite, we’ll show you the best, most efficient way to do THE REWRITE, teaching you how to quickly decide what to keep and what to cut,  how to naturally tighten, strengthen and form your Dream Draft into a compelling, easy-to-read 2^nd Draft that shows off your best skills
• Then comes the AGENT’S POLISH, where we tweak and  hone the draft to make it most compelling to the Reader and Agent – greatly increasing the chances of it finding representation;
• And finally, the PUBLISHER/PRODUCERS POLISH, which targets the publisher (or film company) most likely to buy you work based on your type of story and their individual buying history.

2D/2P is a revolutionary way of looking at the writing process and is the result of my training of over 100 professional writers over the past decade.  It brings the techniques and methods that professionals use to create powerful works FAST – while teaching you how to write quickly and powerfully from the very beginning. 

Think of it! No more 8^th and 9^th drafts of the same work and being insecure about whether it is really and truly the best you can do. 

2D/2P will teach you to judge your work realistically each time and will train you to naturally create stories while teaching the fundamentals of structure, plotting and dialogue along the way.

2D/2P is perfect for you - if you’re:

• Just starting out and don’t know what your personally style of writing is yet;
• More experienced and want to complete works in HALF THE TIME;
• Want to create a process that will make you more Professionally Competitive in the marketplace
