Welcome to The Story Department!

The web site is divided into 3 main sections, corresponding to the 3 stages of script development.

Depending on the stage you are in, click on the appropriate heading below:

1. Story and Structure

The craft of telling a story starts with structure skills.

2. Draft Development

Improve your scene design, format & style and get ready to write ‘FADE IN’.

3. Pitching and Selling

To be a working screenwriter, one needs to write AND sell. We have some advise from those who went before you.

Here's the site map with a list of all articles.

(BTW: Try the site in full screen. It looks great! Just click F11. See what I mean? ;)
