Selling to Hollywood: How to Prepare, What to Expect, and How to Navigate
In television - every scene matters and if you don’t hook the viewer and keep them engaged, you’ll lose them to another channel. The secret to success is in the writing - and an ex-screenwriter-turned-bestselling author is sharing all of her secrets of screenwriting in this class. Learn how to weave in multiple storylines, use leads, sequels, and buttons, and the best character archetypes like the red shirt to answer story questions and open closed doors for the sequel.
HelenKay Dimon is a former divorce lawyer turned bestselling author of more than 40 Romantic Suspense, Contemporary, and Erotic Romance books and novellas. Her books have been featured in various national and international venues and she has had two books named Red-Hot Reads in Cosmo magazine. She is a four-time RITA® Award finalist in romantic suspense (for Mr. and Mr. Smith, Facing Fire, Guarding Mr. Fine and The Fixer) and is 2018 RITA® Award winner for The Fixer. She’s also a Reviewers’ Choice Best Book Award winner in romantic suspense for The Fixer. She lives in San Diego where she is (or should be) working on her next series but might be streaming a show on Netflix.
HelenKay Dimon books are romances, and just as mysteries end with solving the Whodunnit, romances guarantee a Happily Ever After. To avoid confusion, HelenKay writes thrillers under the pseudonym Darby Kane. All the great plotting, rich characterization, and fast pacing readers expect from a HelenKay novel — but in a thriller.
