Upcoming screenwriting classes - PURCHASE:
Saturday, June 20, 2026 / 10:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. online via Zoom (link will be emailed out in a separate email from the immediate receipt)
! ! IMPORTANT NOTE for this virtual class, PLEASE READ: ! ! In advance of the class, virtual class participants (only) must order their own hard-copy of the Pen It by Hunter Ridgway In-Class Workbook (1st Edition), which can be purchased for $13.99 from the online Bookshop at BookBaby.com. You will not be able to follow along the class if you do not have your own copy of the PIBHR In-Class Workbook with you. Be sure to give yourself enough time to receive the Workbook, shipped out from BookBaby in Pennsauken, New Jersey. While Workbooks are provided for in-class participants at the in-person classes, all virtual class participants must order them separately, on their own, in advance of the class. (The additional cost of the Workbook is the reason why the purchase price for the virtual class is less than the price of the in-person class.)
[[ Here’s an example of how long it takes the Workbook to arrive when ordered: As a test, one was ordered from the Bookshop at BookBaby.com on August 23, 2025 –> to be shipped via USPS Media Mail, the cheapest option for U.S. delivery. It arrived at the addressee residence in Los Angeles, CA on September 2, 2025, 10 calendar days later. For more remote areas, or for busier shipping periods, planning for additional delivery days is highly recommended. Or one could opt for a pricier delivery method, like “Next Day” or “2nd Day.” ]]
! ! ADDITIONAL SPECIAL NOTE: ! ! The virtual version of the Pen It by Hunter Ridgway class moves very fast, and it does not cover as much material as the in-personal classes cover. However, the Pen It by Hunter Ridgway In-Class Workbook (1st Edition), which is required for the class, does include EVERYTHING that the in-person class covers and MORE. The Workbook is designed to be a reusable writing aid.
