With a background in improvisational comedy and fifteen years worth of experience as a writer behind me, I always come prepared to give your students or organization members tons of information.

 

I back it up by giving out free worksheets that help audience members remember the most important facts, and we always end with a great Q&A session. 

 

Some of the subjects I like to discuss include but are not limited to: 

 

- How to Write Electrifying Scenes for both Screen and Television 

 

- Time Management and Life Management for Writers 

 

- The Show Bible - What's it for and how do we build one from scratch for original television shows or web series? All attendees get my unique and successful Show Bible system from bolts to nuts! 

 

I am capable of lecturing about almost any topic related to the technical aspects of screen or television writing. If there is something specific you'd like me to come in to talk about let's discuss it. 

 

My speaking services cost $1,000 for a 2 hour seminar, plus travel and hotel expenses covered. I guarantee you not only will feel I was worth every penny, but you'll want to have me back again. Well, don't take my word for it, here is a testimonial from as credible a source as you'll find in New York City: 

 

Alan Zatkow is the real deal. Not only does he know his craft, he is actually succeeding as a writer too. He is insightful, fully prepared, charming and, above all, easy to work with. Without reservation I recommend Alan as a speaker.
