Get down to the nitty-gritty with Max Timm, ISA and The Story Farm in this breakdown webinar on How Your Outline Can Be Your 2nd Draft. Max will also dive in to how to approach your year with deadlines, contests, and long-term script development on multiple projects before the end of the year. We want you to be as efficient as possible - and you should too! How often have you spent more than a year developing a script? Probably far too often. Max wants to get you to a place where you can fully develop a script in less than four months - and by "fully develop", he means a draft that is ready to be submitted to contests, industry readers, and maybe even producers and managers.
There will be a lot to cover in this extensive webinar, but he may be able to review loglines if he has time. So feel free to have them ready. It's a fun way to start the year, so join Max and the ISA in our first official educational event of 2020.
*Please note: when entering the webinar classroom, please wait to upload loglines to the comments section. Only post the logline when prompted as it will help Max stay organized in his reviews.
WHEN: Wednesday, January 15 at 11:00am PST (Los Angeles time)
There is limited space, so it is a first-come, first-served situation. Log in details will be sent via email to confirmed attendees before the webinar begins.
If you RSVP, we do expect you to attend, as it will take a spot away from other interested writers. So we suggest making it a priority to jump on at 11:00 am PST and take advantage of this event.

Max Timm
The Director of Education with International Screenwriters’ Association, President of The Story Farm, and VP of Development for Creative Screenwriter Productions, Max has 15 years of experience in developing material and writers’ careers. His focus with the ISA is to build a creative community and bring ISA writers closer to Industry Professionals. Having attended Holy Cross College at Notre Dame and then transferring to Columbia College Chicago to study screenwriting and producing, Max is a Midwesterner and Chicagoan at heart who prides himself on supporting creative people in as many ways possible. Recently he helped build a development slate with ISA, submitting writers’ projects on their behalf and helping them launch their careers – 21 writers have received options and representation to date because of Max’s assistance and support. His Story Farm consulting service develops screenwriters and their material much like a studio executive or manager would, and his online classes, titled The Craft Course in Screenwriting (as well as his online webinars), offer writers outside the Los Angeles area to take part in professional full development.
After two years at the Holy Cross College at the University of Notre Dame, swimming through a Liberal Arts major and watching football, Max discovered the art of filmmaking and transferred to Columbia College Chicago. He majored in screenwriting and producing at Columbia, and eventually found himself dizzy within the entertainment capital, Los Angeles. After multiple assistant positions at film distribution and advertising companies, Max stumbled upon Writers Boot Camp (WBC) in Santa Monica, CA. Graduating from its Professional Membership in 2007, Max was asked to stay with WBC as a Membership Coordinator and Instructor. After six years, working his way up to Creative Director and Director of Development, Max worked with thousands of writers on their screenplays and novels, as well as personally consulted A-List celebrities.
Both a screenwriter and novelist, Max has created a lifelong relationship with writing. His focus is within the realms of Middle Grade and Young Adult fiction, as well as movies geared toward family entertainment. He still believes James Howe's Bunnicula series is one of the finest middle grade series ever written, and that Mr. Howe's book, "The Celery Stalks at Midnight", may very well be the best book title ever.

Thanks for offering this opportunity. I'll be traveling out of town on this date. Is there a possibility that I might get a consultation with Max on my logline at his convenience after Oct. 21st when I'm back in Los Angeles? I am not, unfortunately, a member at this time.
Appreciate the consideration!
