“In the over saturated and often confusing world of screenwriting it’s hard to find mentors you can trust, who can explain complexities simply AND make studying the craft fun the way these ladies do.”

“Eeww. Why is this episode all about how you have limited time and limited creativity and so negative? Who taught you to be so existential and then try and convince all your listeners to be the same. Those kind of thoughts seed in others and grow. I would rather listen to the news right now.”

“I love this podcast equally for humanising screenwriting and making it feel more approachable and achievable, and for pointing out how crazy it is to pursue it and how hard it is to succeed.

“I am a career writer, but screenwriting is a very specific art that 30 years of learning other mediums couldn’t teach me. So when I embarked on learning to write for film, I was blown away to discover this podcast. Meg and Lorien (and Jeff!) are so incredibly generous with their hard-earned...”Read full review »
