How to become a script writer? Is there any course for the same?

Hi Naina, To become script writer you dont need to be an avid reader. Trust me. That's the truth. How to write a story can not be taught. Courses wont help much. You need to learn it yourself. Yet there are ways to understand the basic methods of generating ideas and developing them into stories. If by script writing you refer to writing for feature films or short films, they have a way to go about it in terms of understanding the structure and developing 'plot'. Do not read books on 'how to become a screenwriter'. It's the worst thing that can happen to you. Do not follow structured syllabus. Writing is a spontaneous process. I have developed my own unique methods of triggering someone to write better and understand the structure of script which can make them write a script on any topic. Contact me to know more.
