A year-round conference in the arts.
Symposium features virtual seminars and panels on screenwriting, filmmaking, and publishing, plus free "Town Hall" discussions throughout the year.
Like Pipeline Artists, our approach is to tell creatives what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. Because let’s face it: no one learns when advice is sugarcoated. RealTalk™ and honesty, helping everyone build a path to their own unique career goals.
Upcoming Events
Producing a Narrative Podcast
Tuesday, April 30th ($35)
Jessica Hobbs produced an episodic series of narrative podcasts based on her 2023 book of short stories, The Witch and Other Tales of the American Gothic. In this workshop, you’ll learn the basic steps for crafting an effective audio drama and tips on how to elevate your own voice in the process.
How to Build Complex Characters to Drive Plot/Story
Tuesday, May 7th ($35)
Julia F. Green will discuss how to create well-rounded characters, exploring their origins, identifying key moments in their development, and getting to their core desires and fears. She’ll also discuss how to identify and escalate the stakes for each character and use them to create snappy scenes that add up to an irresistible plot.
Building a Kick-Ass Deck for Both Pitching and Inspiration
Tuesday, May 14th ($35)
Pitch decks are useful for more than just pitching your script. Many writers create them for story inspiration—to set the tone, help them develop characters, or create an outline. Creating a formal pitch deck can help, even in the early stages of writing! No design experience needed.
