Sharon Lynn Writes

Please contact her if you’re interested in booking a presentation or workshop. She’s happy to craft a session to meet your program needs and budget.

PRESENTATIONS (30 minutes or 1 hour)
Adapting Books to Film Presentation: Have you ever wondered how blockbuster movies are adapted from novels? In this presentation, Sharon will take the audience through a visual journey of the adaption process.

Male vs Female Brains (30 minutes only): Biology plays a part in how we think and approach problems. Even when characters get to the same conclusion at the same time, their process should be different. In this short presentation, Sharon will outline brain differences and how they affect character decisions.

Robots in Film Presentation: From Metropolis in 1927 to 2022’s Buzz Lightyear, the concept of robots has fascinated filmmakers and audiences alike. The audience will see visuals from androids to operating systems in this fascinating look at science fiction.

WORKSHOPS (45 minutes):
Script Adaptation Work Session: Turn your short story or novel into a screenplay! Sharon will show you the basics of visual storytelling and format to set you on the road to success. Bring the first page of your favorite work to get started.

Craft of Writing: Sentence starters and formatting dialogue are two things that are often overlooked but are vital to making your Work in Progress stand out from the competition. Bring something to write with (tablet, laptop, paper, quill and ink, etc.) and be ready to try your hand at rewrites during this interactive session.

Novel and/or Script Dialogue: Bad dialogue is easy to write. Good dialogue takes patience and planning. By looking at dialogue from a famous film, attendees will have the opportunity to rewrite dialogue to create subtext, develop character, and flesh out character voice.
