Now that the strike is over, the industry is full steam ahead. It will take some time for the biz to catch up on all of the work that stalled over the past few months, but now is a great time for all of us writers to prepare for the floodgates to open. We here at the ISA get a lot of questions (a lot), and most of them tend to be repeatedly asked by multiple writers. It means you're working. It means you're trying. It means you want to improve. We love this, and we will do everything we can to give you our best, most-informed answers.

Max Timm, the ISA Director of Education, will answer many of these repeated questions (to the best of his ability). Industry-related, business-oriented questions from "how do I get a manager?", to "how do I raise the stakes in my story in order to sell it?"; Max will dive in, go through a list of his own commonly asked questions and do his best to answer as many live questions from you, our members. Hop on this webinar and let's educate our curious minds!

Max Timm is the Director of Education with the International Screenwriters’ Association, Co-VP of Development for Creative Screenwriter Prods, and the President of The Story Farm Coaching service. With nearly 20 years of experience in the entertainment industry and in developing written material and writers’ careers, his focus with the ISA is to shepherd writers to industry professionals, offering exposure alongside career-long education. He has coached and consulted on material written by writers ranging from beginner to A-list actors creating their own vehicles.

His online class, The Craft Course in Screenwriting, offers writers an in-depth yet easy to understand approach to professional full development. In order to connect with as many aspiring writers as possible, he also helped create and launch multiple webinars, workshops, and the ISA's 30-Day Screenwriting Challenge. Aside from focusing on education, Max has joined forces with his ISA cohorts to launch a production and development company called Creative Screenwriter where they develop and produce low to mid-range budgeted films and TV series written by ISA’s top members.

Max is also a screenwriter and author. His debut novel, a young adult fantasy adventure titled The WishKeeper, about a teenage fairy with broken wings, won the YA category of the Los Angeles Book Festival, released nationwide and internationally, and is now being shopped as an animated series. Max has also served as a part-time instructor at UCLA, and travels nationally speaking at various industry events such as the Sundance Film Festival, Nashville Writers Conference, and the Napa Valley Film Festival.
