COLORADO GOLD WRITERS CONFERENCE  2025

The CO Gold Conference is always a remarkable experience: fun, educational, social. I was honored again to be invited to teach at the conference.

I taught a 4-hour intensive workshop:  

Risky Business: Consciously Using or Avoiding Craft Departures

and a 1-hour workshop:

Go Out with a BANG (Or a Sweet Whisper): Writing Powerful Endings




I've proposed quite a few workshops for this coming October's conference!  Fingers crossed!

CO Gold 2024

News from the Inkpot 

I'm thrilled to have been invited to teach a four-hour workshop at the 2024 CO Gold Writer's Conference.

The gathering is always inspiring and educational, a great place to meet new friends and catch up with fellow writers we typically see only once a year.  

Hope to see you there!

Quarter Finals - Eating a Hearse


Greetings from the Inkpot

I'm excited to announce that my comedy screenplay 

Eating a Hearse null

has made quarter finals in the Stage 32 Grown Up Screenplay Contest.  


Previous reviews:

BlueCat Evaluation quarter-finalist: “I wish this movie had been made instead of ‘The Bucket List’! The dialogue is extremely strong. In addition to being consistently clever and sometimes guffaw-out-loud funny, it is briskly paced, fluid, and rings true to the characters throughout. You have a great ear…unusual and layered characters, ones an audience will want to get to know, well drawn, multi-faceted as the bonds that they share…fun and breezy without sacrificing depth,  quite well-crafted, a lot of creativity and wit in the service of some very serious subject matter.” Script Vamp: all highest “excellent” honors for Characters and conflict.  


May we all sell our scripts!
