15 Screenwriting lessons

Erik is a wonderful teacher filled with extreme knowledge of screenwriting and film. I am very blessed to have him as my screenwriting teacher and cannot wait to continue working with him on my second draft and helping get my script out there. Erik always puts his students first and is a very rare teacher on Wyzant because he will dedicate himself into helping you hone your craft and also goes beyond to not just make you a better screenwriter but a better human being.

7 Screenwriting lessons

I have worked with other screenwriting professionals and given the choice, I would pick Josh every time. His feedback is thorough, thoughtful, and actionable. Our meetings are easy-going (low stress, people!) and very productive. I always leave our lessons with renewed vigor for my project. His guidance is invaluable. If you're wondering who to go to for advice, feedback, notes or whatever you're looking for on your screenwriting journey, stop. This is the guy right here.

7 Screenwriting lessons

My tutoring sessions with Erik during my screenwriting journey have been transformative. Thanks to Erik's invaluable mentoring, guidance, critiques, and fantastic suggestions. In just seven one-hour tutoring sessions over four months, I completed a final polished draft of my supernatural/horror script and submitted it to the Oscars prestigious Nicholl Fellowship screenwriting competition. Erik's knowledge and expertise extend across all film genres.
