$69 early-bird registration (price goes up to $79 as of September 1). The 45-Day Sprint is a guided writing challenge built around pre-development, drafting, and rewriting - the same approach professional writers use when developing material that’s meant to last.

Max's signature 12-week development program - structured, deadline-driven, and designed to get your script finished and industry-ready.

Prefer to work directly with Max at your own pace? Call packages give you dedicated one-on-one coaching sessions you use on your schedule - for script reads, development notes, brainstorming, pitch prep, career advice, or long term development of multiple projects. A structured approach to deadlines and scheduled calls will guide you through development . All packages include access to the Story Farm Circle Community, and have available payment plans. These packages are specific to writing for Film or Television.
