My screenwriting partner and I are working on putting together a two-hander right now. These are some of my favorite movies to write (and watch!) Allow me to use recent smash hit Deadpool & Wolverine to demonstrate 3 two-hander fundamentals (don't worry, no spoilers!) 1/12

Action lines are the primary area of friction in your screenwriting. That's where a reader gets bored, loses interest, and skips. Yet 99% of screenwriters still don't give them enough attention. Here are five (really) simple ways to improve your action lines right now. 👇

Horror writers, submit to THE DEAD LIST. @AshLazerWrites mentions a writer signed with Heroes & Villains. Need another reason? A Director with a HULU movie requested my script GABLE a year after the 1st list came out. What if he likes it? What happens next? Submit & find out!
