Charles Harris: Author, director and screenwriter in London, England.

LOCO Film Festival have put together WRITING COMEDY: FINDING CONFIDENCE IN THE COLLECTIVE, a day-long training for Underwire Festival in London, sharing and connecting event for women writing comedy at The Yard Theatre on Friday 14th November. I'm starting the day off with an Hour of Power. It's a great way to wake up the writer's synapses and smell the coffee. But deadline for applications is this Friday so get moving!

I'm very proud to announce that my screenwriting book is out this week, "Complete Screenwriting Course", published by John Murray Learning, an imprint of mega-publishers Hachette. And they've done a tremendous job. The design is great, a nice large format. I wanted to avoid the trap of making it all about Hollywood style writing and include many other styles too and reference movies and TV not only from the mainstream but from indie writers as well as other cultures and parts of the world. Full details: www.completescreenwritingcourse.com. For any fellow Stagers going to the London Screenwriters' Festival, it would be great to meet. I'm going to be in the Euroscript Room most of the time, and in particular will be having "Meet The Author" sessions on Friday 12-1 and 7.30, Saturday 12-1 and Sunday 3.30-4.30. Just drop in for a natter about writing, or anything else. And Friday evening it would be good to go and look for a drink too. Talking of dropping in, the Euroscript Script Clinic drop-in desk is also going the whole time, and I'll be on that for some sessions. Warmest wishes Charles

Not sure how all this works but here goes... My intention was to join Stage 32 when I returned from the summer holidays in August, but like many good intentions, this slipped to the back burner until I was invited by a fellow writer to join. Thank you Jeremy. At the moment I am concentrating on spec screenplays. I have had several short films made, two were optioned and made in the States. I have had a feature film optioned too. This year I have been concentrating on structure, yes, it should have been a basic but I managed to side slip it for years – good ideas I’ve had and worked on but was the structure good? Now I’m putting that right and hope I can still keep some sparkle in the scripts I’m working on.

Hi Stage 32 people. I've been a member for some time, but finally found a moment to say hello. I've worked in TV and cinema as writer and as director, and made just about everything from cinema feature, drama, documentary, drama-doc... I helped found the London Screenwiters' Workshop, many years ago, which turned out to be the first screenwriters workshop in the world (who knew?) and is now known as Euroscript. I like telling stories in any medium. I've got a book coming out in October, with Hodder & Stoughton - "Teach Yourself: Complete Screenwriting Course", of which I'm very proud, and a novel in the spring (crime/satire) of which I'm just as proud. And I like being in contact with other writers and directors and sharing expertise. I'm going to be doing a number workshops in the next few months to help promote the first book - in London and elsewhere in the UK and Europe - some free or nominal price. I'm also going to be at the London Screenwriters' Festival at the end of October, so I hope to meet many S32 members face-to-face, as well as on screen here. Do say hi.
