Writing the Superhero Movie Webinar contest

Dear screenwriters,

It’s been quite a day for superhero news: we got a first look at Ben Affleck as Batman (pic above) from Zack Snyder and David Goyer’s upcoming “Batman vs. Superman” movie, the news broke about Channing Tatum starring as Gambit in an upcoming X-Men spinoff movie, and ABC announced another Marvel comics-inspired show, “Agent Carter,” will join its Marvel’s Agents of Shield in the 2014-2015 TV season.

Is it safe to say that superheroes are employing a lot of screenwriters? Sure looks like it.

Amidst this super-heroic entertainment firestorm, I invite you to check out my latest webinar, WRITING THE SUPERHERO MOVIE, live on May 15, 2014 at 1:00 pm pacific time and streaming thereafter, and if you’re interested in winning a FREE SPOT in the webinar, take a crack at my contest…using the video below as a guide…
