Incredible Masterclass! This show gives me an accessible, clear way in to understanding the craft and business of Screenwriting (as promised). The interviewer keeps things snappy and moving forward, and she has great insights and additions of her own along the way, while keeping an excellent balance of letting the guest of the week be the focus. When I try to jot down everything useful I hear, I wind up practically writing a transcript. Great show!
This podcast was recommended as a tool in a writing class I’m in and I have already found it be a be a terrific resource in the few episodes I’ve listened to.

It would be beneficial to prepare more before the interview. One of the best interviewers ... more
I’m an actor and producer. Not a writer. But I love this podcast. The perspective it gives me for the scripts I’m working on is invaluable. I love hearing how the sausage gets made so to speak, and Pilar’s expertise gives me a leg up when I’m evaluating and/or breaking down a script! Thank you for all you do and keep those brilliant writers coming! We need you to do our work! Teamwork makes the Dream Work!
