Knowing History and Writing for the “It Girl” Launched The Screenwriting Career of Ethel Doherty – Dr. Rosanne Welch, Script Magazine, March 2026

Many of today’s screenwriters have come from the world of education so it could be said they are following the path laid out by Ethel Doherty in the 1920s and 30s. Born in Los Angeles in 1899 Doherty and the film industry grew up together. Her parents moved back and forth between Los Angeles and Arizona, so Doherty majored in history and graduated from Arizona State Normal School with plans to be a high school teacher.

My amazing coworker @[email protected] always starts off every story with a well-crafted logline. I never used to. But seeing how much it helped her focus her storytelling turned me into a convert. Loglines before and after. #Scriptsky #Screenwriting

The finale of See You In My 19th Life is now one of my all time favourite TV final episodes.

If you are a writer, especially if you are a writer who struggles with endings, I warmly encourage you to watch it.

Artificial Intelligence and Film Studies: Midjourney versus CAMELS

CAMELS? As an English teacher, I’ve done a lot of analytical film studies over the years. The biggest problem is always students’ grasp of technical language: film analysis tends to drift off into character and plot description, even more so than for written texts. So, when I teach film, I lean more into my Media Studies background. In the UK I completed my undergrad in English and American Literatures. When I trained to teach, it was in English, Media, and Drama. Then, when I first […]

For months, my officemates and I have been scrambling through a mounting pile of script coverage, script doctor work, the cross country move, and a storm of personal and family traumas...

Finally, I've made some time to work on my own projects! Time for Jump Rangers.

On this week’s #Scriptsky #Screenwriting thread, I’m talking STAKES. What are stakes? Well, your protagonist should have a want - a tangible and/or emotional goal. Stakes are the consequences of success and/or failure for that goal. They’re also the reason your protagonist + the audience cares. 🧵1
