The First of Its Kind. Anywhere.

Write Turn is the first structured screenwriting program designed for correctional institutions and rehabilitation facilities. Participants learn story — its principles, its mechanics, and its craft — exactly as professional screenwriters do. The result is the natural development of narrative cognition skills: the capacity to think critically, communicate clearly, make better decisions, and construct a coherent sense of identity.

 

We intentionally keep class sizes small and intimate to maximize engagement and provide one-on-one attention from the instructor. Students are active participants in each lesson and apply their new knowledge through challenging, fun, and creative exercises. 

Write Turn operates on a selective partnership model. We work with a limited number of facilities each quarter to ensure personalized attention and exceptional outcomes.

A Comprehensive Program

Our Introduction to Screenwriting program comprises three carefully designed parts that combine knowledge and real-world skills in an engaging and creative environment.

Storytime with Grandpa

Part 1:
Principles of Story

Participants discover the architecture of story: archplot structure, dynamic tension, logic, and why these principles apply far beyond the screen.

Drive-in Cinema

Part 2:
Mechanics of Screenwriting

Participants tap into the capacity of screenwriting to enhance problem-solving, critical thinking, and "imagineering" skills.

Part 3:
Writer's Room Experience

Participants bring everything together in a collaborative writers' room, developing teamwork, communication, and real-world creative skills.

Designed For Two Distinct Environments

Thoughtfully designed for both correctional institutions and rehabilitation facilities,
Write Turn offers flexible delivery formats to meet a range of educational and skills development objectives.
