“If you're someone who gets stuck when writing, I HIGHLY suggest TPP’s workbooks... the outline process is GAME-CHANGING.”

- Angel W. (Staffed Writer)

welcome to your film school

Learn the basics of screenwriting without breaking the bank.

You don’t need film school to succeed in Hollywood — but you do need intentional learning and collaboration. At TPP, we give you the foundation to write scripts that work and the support to keep going. Whether you prefer to study solo or learn alongside other writers, there’s a path here that fits your style (and your budget).

TWO WAYS TO LEARN SCREENWRITING

For writers who want accountability and community. Join other screenwriters in a supportive space where you can learn together, trade feedback,
and celebrate your wins.

WELCOME TO YOUR PSEUDO
STUDIO SYSTEM

TPP preps writers to do this screenwriting thing professionally.

That means our services mimic what Hollywood calls the development process — the stage where stories get shaped, tested, and strengthened before they hit the page.

If your outline is messy, your script will be too. In Hollywood, outlines aren’t optional — they’re a contracted step in the development process. You won’t make it in Hollywood… unless you outline. Read this to find out why→

Our Outline Review gives you professional notes on structure, story beats, pacing, and character arcs to make sure your story holds from start to finish. It’s your script readiness check before you burn months writing a draft you’ll have to toss.

Upgrade Your Review:

  • Logline Review – ensure your logline actually sells the story your outline delivers.

  • Story Jam – walk through your notes live with your Story Expert for extra clarity.

You don’t need script coverage. Coverage tells executives if your script is worth their time. Development Notes tell you how to make your screenplay stronger.  Read this before you waste your money on coverage again

Our Story Experts give you the kind of notes writers get in the studio system: clear, constructive, and actionable. You’ll learn what’s working, what isn’t (and why), and what to do about it — so you can rewrite with confidence instead of vomiting through more drafts.

Story Notes are designed for writers who’ve already received Development Notes from a TPP Story Expert and revised based on that feedback. This discounted service gives you a second round of notes on your new draft — so you can see what’s landing, what still needs work, and where your story is leveling up.

This is our way of tracking your progress. To avoid contradictory notes, you’ll continue working with the same Story Expert, who evaluates not just your draft but your ability to address notes — a key skill every pro writer needs to master.

“One word to describe TPP, CAPTIVATING! This was the best decision I have made this year. I came to TPP with questions about my script, creating and just the business in general, and they did not hold back. As Shannan, the CEO, says, “if we have the information, you do”. You can tell from their first sentence that they are passionate about screen writing and helping others.

​TPP is the real deal! I left our meeting feeling empowered, knowledgeable and ready to take on my creativity and this industry. TPP is honest about the ups and down with being a creative and getting into the room, yet still gives you hope to still pursue this dream and key tips on HOW to enter these rooms and WHAT to do when you are finally there. TPP is amazing and I’ll always work with them.”

- Chanel D. (Beginner Screenwriter)
