Ready to commit to your craft and your career? This is where serious writers do serious work - with your coach, Max Timm, alongside you every step of the way.
From an extensive writing challenge, to the Pro Screenwriting Labs, to 1-on-1 coaching packages, go beyond foundational education and build your writing career.

Monday, October 5 to Wednesday, November 18
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 group development program - structured, deadline-driven, designed to get your script finished & industry-ready. With four levels of feedback from Max and ISA readers, you will develop not only your draft but as a writer. Three cycles run each year - Winter, Summer, Fall. Payment plans available.
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.
