University of Chicago Graham School

Everybody has an idea or two for a screenplay, many certain that their idea is so good that Hollywood will want to gobble it up. Then reality sets in. Screenwriting is a difficult task that requires discipline and practice and a guiding hand that can show you the way to turning your idea into something that a producer will actually want to make into a movie.
The Graham school course, under the generous guidance of Susan Hubbard, offers a roadmap toward making that idea into something compelling in the eyes of others. Using the best advice from an unlimited supply of «experts» about the process, Susan mixes a useful combination of reading, exercises and critical analysis that will leave you with the confidence to keep going. She wont do it for you, but she will make you want to do it for yourself.

Susan Hubbard is one of the best instructors I’ve ever had. Her screenwriting classes are dense but accessible, highly enjoyable, and totally worthwhile. Many like me are repeat students. Susan is generous with her time and intellect, and really brings out the creative writer in you. She runs a class that is respectful yet motivating. Highly, highly recommend her course!

The University of Chicago Graham School offers great creative writing classes including Screenwriting, Fiction and non-​Fiction writing. Classes are held DOWNTOWN at the U. of C. Gleacher Center, 450 N. Cityfront Plaza.
