The Disability Writing Workshop is a place for all writers to gather and talk about the representation of disability in the media. We will discuss your disabled characters and analyze characters in books, film, TV, audio drama and comics. We’ll also practice exercises to build new characters from scratch.
We have a large group of disabled writers who gather but able-bodied people are more than welcome.
DISCLAIMER
In this session, there is a possibility that we will discuss sensitive and triggering topics such as mental health, abuse, suicide, substance abuse and trauma. If at any point you feel it's getting too heavy, feel free to leave without explanation. We can also offer some helpful resources.
How to attend?

**Fridays:**
11am (Pacific) 1pm (Central) 2pm (Eastern) 4pm (Argentina-Brazil-Chile) 7pm (GMT) 8pm (Central European Time) 10pm (Dubai)

**Feedback Tips:**

* **Start with the Positive:** Begin by highlighting what’s working well in the script. Also consider where this writer is on their journey and whether you’ve noticed improvement compared to their previous scripts.
* **Be Specific:** Use specific examples from the script to illustrate your points.
* **Priorities:** What are the most critical suggestions you can share? Concentrate on the story, characters, and scenework rather than nitpicking minor details. If this is a complete feature or TV pilot, help the writer understand any big structure problems making their story less coherent.
* **Characters & Dialogue:** Who was driving the story? Did you root for them? Were their scene goals and obstacles clear? Did the dialogue sound distinct for each character and reveal their personality?
* **Series Format:** For pilots, is there an audience for this show concept? Did you get a sense of what it would be like to watch a typical episode of this show?
* **Genre & Tone:** Does this script meet the expectations of its intended audience? Does it live up to the premise? Do descriptions and dialogue evoke the right genre-specific mood? Consider how fans of the writer’s genre or comps will respond, even if you are not a fan of this genre.
* **Be Considerate:** Understand that the writer may be emotionally attached to their work. An empathetic choice of words can help writers process your advice more easily.

***HOW TO WRITE A SLASHER MOVIE***
On Friday the 13th, join veteran horror screenwriter Conor Kyle for a deep dive into the craft of writing slasher films. Through analysis of this sub-genre's story structure and audience expectations, students will explore how to create iconic slasher villains, develop suspenseful pacing, and design inventive, visceral kill sequences. Learn techniques for escalating stakes, subverting genre tropes, and using tension to heighten fear. We will also discuss character development in horror, the psychology of terror, and how to invoke a chilling mood and atmosphere. Beginners and experienced horror writers welcome!

***Bring your slasher movie ideas & loglines!***
