hi folks, below is a message from our guest margaret south. i told her i would pass on this info for those interested.

Hey there.

It was a pleasure meeting you and your students, Peter; thanks for having
me. It is amazing, isn't it, that our projects have so many
outlets/applications nowadays?

Per your questions, I'm giving a 4 week version of THE ART OF STORY in
mid-May; for more information, or to register, go to: outreach.hawaii.edu.
The class fills up quickly, so time is of the essence.

For a private consultation on an existing project, I charge $400. You
receive 4-5 pages of written notes and a one-hour session, either in person
or on the phone. (I haven't raised my rate in 2 years; it's going up to
$500 on June 1, just so you know.) I'd refer you to my website, but it's
under construction and the web guy has the flu.)

In the fall, we're planning a four week intensive story structure class, as
well as a master class held over 10 weeks.

Regards,

Margaret

Subject: Pricing for classes

Hi margaret, some of our writers asked for pricing on your
classes. Also, pricing on your script reading. I will send it around, if that's okay. Thanks again, pete

blogger was down

hi folks, blogger.com was down this past weekend--so those who posted, like me, probably lost those posts. apparently they've worked out the server issues and the site is operating again as usual. fyi, i checked with jon brekke, creative director at oc-16. they do not have templates or guidelines for show pitches or packets. they take 'em one submission at a time. usually they like to see a demo of a segment, and will be looking for professionalism, etc. if the producer/writers don't have a track record, they may ask for a complete show.

john fink, general manager and vp of khnl/kfve is visiting today. john has a deep background in broadcast radio and tv.

please choose a reading for your abstract/presentation and let me know what it is.
