A Message from the Director 

An Invitation to Write—And Write and Write and Write! 

“What would I tell a fellow writer about my Writers Studio experience? Do it! Four days of intense writing is 

so inspiring. I’d recommend it to anyone.” 

—Janna McFerson, 2010 Writers Studio student 

“To write is to write is to write is to write is to write is to 

write is to write is to write,” according to Gertrude Stein, but 

contemporary life offers plenty of challenges to our ability to 

do it. The UCLA Extension Writers’ Program’s answer to 

this dilemma? The 2011 Writers Studio, which guided Janna 

McFerson to “turn my idea for a romantic comedy (which was 

smaller than a seed) into a two-page outline for a feature in 

just three days!” 

The undisputed centerpiece of the Studio experience is its ten four-day workshops. 

Whether you want to write novels, short fiction, memoirs, personal essays, feature 

films, or sitcoms, this format allows you to focus on your chosen field. Forget the 

standard 45-minute conference “mini-lectures” in hotel ballrooms; ensconced in a 

small, intimate classroom, you receive personalized feedback on your work from a 

professional writer who is also a top Writers’ Program instructor. Each workshop 

has specific writing goals, and by immersing yourself in what 2010 participant Liz 

Zuercher describes as “the intoxicating camaraderie of writers concentrating on 

writing to the exclusion of everyday life,” you’ll meet and possibly even exceed them. 

And while writing is, ultimately, a solitary experience, the Writers Studio provides 

you with a community of writers—kindred spirits with whom you roll up your 

sleeves and write, offer feedback, exchange notes, and write some more. “I was 

astonished at the level of closeness and mutual support in my group,” says 2010 

participant Tamara Adelman, and a glimpse into any Writers Studio classroom 

reveals people from all walks of life drawn together by their desire to write and 

engaged in helping each other do so. 

In addition, you enjoy a guest speaker selected by your Studio instructor for your 

particular workshop; a kick-off breakfast and wrap party; Westwood Village with 

its restaurants, shops, and services; and the stunning UCLA campus just a short 

walk away. And of course, Writers’ Program staff members are onsite at all times 

to assist you. 

I invite you to join us for the 2011 Writers Studio—to give yourself the gift of 

experiencing that “to write is to write is to write is to write is to write is to write 

is to write is to write.” 

Sincerely, 

Linda Venis, PhD

The creative process abounds in mystery: Where do our ideas come from? Why is 

inspiration sometimes elusive? Are there techniques for improving access to creativity? 

How can we sustain a creative flow over time and maintain a writing practice? This 

immersive workshop addresses these questions through four days of extensive writing 

and analysis. You experiment with a range of techniques for sparking the imagination 

as well as with various approaches to creating stories, personal essays, and/or memoirs. 

Through short readings and in-class discussions, you discover the mysteries of the 

writing process, sources of inspiration, and strategies for overcoming writer’s block 

and staying motivated in your writing. By the end of the Studio you have in hand draft 

sketches of several short pieces or one longer piece as well as possess techniques and 

ideas for sustaining and nurturing an inspired writing practice at home. Enrollment limited 

to 18 students. Logistical information for this course must be accessed online. Please provide your email address 

when you register. Upon enrolling, you will be emailed a login and password to the Writers Studio site on 

Blackboard, which will be available beginning December 7, 2010. 

Daniel M. Jaffe, internationally 

published fiction writer, essayist, and 

literary translator whose novel The Limits 

of Pleasure was selected by ForeWord 

Magazine as a Book of the Year Award 

finalist. Mr. Jaffe compiled and edited 

With Signs and Wonders: An International Anthology 

of Jewish Fabulist Fiction. He received the 

UCLA Extension Outstanding Instructor 

Award in Creative Writing (Online), 

2006. 

“Creative writers flourish only in a trusting 

environment—here we are, exposing 

parts of ourselves, our imaginations, 

experiences, philosophies, loves, and 

hates. I try to foster an atmosphere of 

comfort and trust where we can feel free 

to explore our potentials, to experiment, 

to take creative risks which might or 

might not merit repetition. I also 

encourage us to gripe about the difficulties 

of writing because one of the greatest 

sources of inspiration is the knowledge 

that, although our writing lives are 

solitary, we are not alone.” 





Writing a novel—especially a first novel—can be at once exhilarating and terrifying, 

invigorating and exhausting, and filled with moments of frustration and moments of 

sheer unadulterated wonder. In this intensive workshop, we pull together the tools and 

inspiration we need for this grand journey, exploring what makes a great story and 

what we can do to make our own stories sing. Through in-class writing exercises, lectures, 

discussion, and workshopping one another’s work, we delve into craft issues such 

as dialogue, point of view, voice, setting and structure, and talk about what we can do 

to sustain ourselves and our work as we travel the long road that is the novel. You leave 

the class with a rough opening chapter, as well as a clear idea about how to move forward 

with the story and see it to fruition. Prerequisite: At least one previous fiction writing course. 

Enrollment limited to 18 students. Logistical information for this course must be accessed online. Please provide 

your email address when you register. Upon enrolling, you will be emailed a login and password to the Writers 

Studio site on Blackboard, which will be available beginning December 7, 2010. 

“I love words. I love rolling them around 

on my tongue, I love taking them in with 

my eyes and ears, I love feeling them move 

through my fingertips. I feel incredibly 

lucky to be a writer, to have built my life 

around words in all their beauty and 

muscularity. I feel incredibly lucky to be a 

teacher, too, to help others access the juiciness 

of language, the power of their own 

voice. I look forward to helping you get 

under the skin of your characters, helping 

you find the heart of your story, helping 

you make your words glow.” 

Gayle Brandeis, author of the young 

adult novel My Life with the Lincolns (Henry 

Holt and Co., 2010) and the novel Delta 

Girls (Ballantine Books, 2010). Ms. 

Brandeis’ novel The Book of Dead Birds won 

the Bellwether Prize for Fiction in 

Support of a Literature of Social 

Responsibility, established by Barbara 

Kingsolver. In addition, she is the author 

of Self Storage (Ballantine, 2007), Fruitflesh: 

Seeds of Inspiration for Women Who Write, and 

Dictionary Poems, a chapbook. 



Inside Story: Creating Powerful Narratives 


Be it a novel, short story, or piece of creative nonfiction, the secret to creating a narrative 

that leaps off the page and instantly grabs the reader lies in the story itself. In this 

workshop, you explore what a story really is; what we, as readers, innately expect when 

we read one; and how to translate the unique story you’re writing into the universal 

language of storytelling. Just as importantly, you have a yardstick to gauge whether each 

twist is on target or is a digression that brings your narrative to a screeching halt. In 

class you write, workshop, and refine your concept and your protagonist’s quest, 

focusing on what your story is about and how to actualize it. You leave the course with 

a clear roadmap of your story from beginning to end, and a precise draft of those 

foundation-setting first several pages. Prerequisite: At least one previous fiction writing course. 




“I believe that the rules of story are organic, and hardwired in us all. It’s why—whether 

‘well written’ or not—we immediately respond to a good one. It’s why a sappy fast food 

commercial is as apt to bring a tear to your eye as a gripping novel does. Both have zeroed 

in on exactly what we are hungry for when it comes to story. By decoding it, you can write 

stories that the whole world will be hungry for. My goal is to help you do just that, so 

you’ll be able to create a vessel that will give shape, form, and meaning—not to mention 

that all important sense of urgency—to your creativity, your intuition, your vision.” 

Lisa Cron, Partner at the Michael Cron 

Literary Agency, representing a variety 

of fiction and nonfiction writers. Ms. 

Cron has been a consultant, agent, and 

story analyst for the Angela Rinaldi 

Literary Agency, the William Morris 

Agency, Warner Bros., Miramax, and 

Village Roadshow. She spent a decade 

working in publishing as an editor and 

publicist at W. W. Norton and John Muir 

Publications. 





We read personal essays to understand our own lives and to discover new perspectives 

for looking at the world. We write them for the same reasons. The topic of a personal 

essay can range from realizing a major truth of your life to finding the humor in life’s 

trivial frustrations. This workshop focuses mainly on crafting the 500- to 1200-word 

personal essay, one of the most marketable genres of creative writing, but we also 

explore longer literary essays. Through writing exercises to generate essay ideas, reading 

your work to elicit constructive feedback, receiving marketing advice, studying 

essays in magazines and newspapers, and utilizing time set aside to write, you complete 

at least one personal essay and have material for future work. Enrollment limited to 18 students. 

Logistical information for this course must be accessed online. Please provide your email address when you register. 

Upon enrolling, you will be emailed a login and password to the Writers Studio site on Blackboard, which will be 

available beginning December 7, 2010. 

“We need courage as well as structure 

for writing the stories of our life. My 

job is to help you find that courage and 

recognize the value and meaning of your 

experiences, then craft your stories 

into personal essays and guide you 

toward publication. I love the intensity 

and commitment of a four-day workshop. 

It’s a way of retreating from the 

world, devoting yourself to your writing, 

and reaching tangible goals. It’s also a lot 

of fun!” 

Barbara Abercrombie, author of 12 

books, including her latest, Courage and 

Craft: Writing Your Life into Story (New World 

Library). Ms. Abercrombie has been 

published in The Christian Science Monitor, Los 

Angeles Times, and Baltimore Sun, as well as the 

anthology The Face in the Mirror. She received 

the UCLA Extension Distinguished 

Instructor Award in 2010 and 

Outstanding Instructor Award in 

Creative Writing, 1994. 




with Samantha Dunn 

Nobel Prize-winning author V. S. Naipaul once said that if you observe hard, think 

even harder, and figure out what you are thinking in the simplest, clearest language, 

you will arrive at narrative. This is what great memoir writing achieves: it creates an 

involving story line out of a huge mass of life experience and casts the writer as a compelling 

lead character. This workshop aims to help you identify your life story’s pivotal 

anecdotes, events, and major themes; use fictional techniques, such as story structure, 

characterization and dialogue to cast them into art; and explore the notion of self-revelation, 

perhaps the form’s greatest challenge. You also learn how to transfer the people 

in your life onto the page with integrity and honesty. The course goal is to complete at 

least one short work of memoir. Enrollment limited to 18 students. Logistical information for this course 

must be accessed online. Please provide your email address when you register. Upon enrolling, you will be emailed a 

login and password to the Writers Studio site on Blackboard, which will be available beginning December 7, 2010. 

Samantha Dunn, author and journalist 

whose latest memoir is Faith in Carlos Gomez: 

A Memoir of Salsa, Sex, and Salvation. Ms. 

Dunn’s previous books include the memoir 

Not by Accident: Reconstructing a Careless Life, 

as well as the novel Failing Paris, a finalist 

for the PEN Center USA Fiction Award. 

Her articles have appeared in Los Angeles 

Times, O (Oprah), Ms., and Glamour. 

“I’m always amused—okay, sometimes 

annoyed—when I see the term “confessional” 

used disparagingly to describe a 

piece of literature. To me, nothing is 

more thrilling or inspiring than experiencing 

the world through another’s eyes, 

understanding what sense they make of 

the world, getting under the skin of 

another. Isn’t this the essence of all art? 

Truth-telling is a subversive act, and a 

dangerous one, and, finally, an impossible 

one. No one makes it all the way all 

the time; it’s like walking a high wire. 

Still, it is an act of bravery, and, call me 

PollyAnna, but I believe we, writer and 

reader, are always enriched by the process. 

I want my workshop to be a greenhouse of 

sorts, a protected environment where 

writers can begin to truly and deeply 

explore their lives and their ideas to produce 

beautiful works—and enjoy doing it.” 


Screenwriting 


with Kim Krizan 

This introductory course unlocks and inspires your creativity while teaching you the 

basics of screenwriting. To lay the creative groundwork and break through any writing 

blocks, in-class writing exercises unearth and help your unique stories grow quickly, 

organically, and holistically. Next, you learn the key craft elements of screenplay writing, 

including plot, story structure, characterization, dialogue, and the importance of 

a compelling “set-up,” and simultaneously work on your story outline and scenes. By 

the end of four days, you will have discovered your script’s story and theme, crafted a 

richly-developed character or characters, and have in hand the beginnings of an outline 

and a number of scenes. Most importantly, you will have learned how to tap into 

your creative resources, banish that inner critic, and use the tools necessary to write 

and complete a screenplay on your own. In addition, a guest speaker discusses writing 

a script, having it optioned, and working as an independent producer. Enrollment limited to 

18 students. Logistical information for this course must be accessed online. Please provide your email address when 

you register. Upon enrolling, you will be emailed a login and password to the Writers Studio site on Blackboard, 

which will be available beginning December 7, 2010. 

Scene from Before Sunset (© 2004 Warner Bros. Pictures) 

“My emphasis and specialty is the creative process and I do everything possible to create 

an environment that is conducive to the incubation of your unique film story. 

There is no trick to writing a screenplay, only hard work—though it is work that can be 

pleasurable and rewarding. My goal is to create a safe space in which you can unveil the 

story you are dying to tell, bind and gag your “inner critic,” dismantle any potential 

writer’s block, and learn the tools to let your story rip. Writing a screenplay is a process 

and a journey, so I do my best to get you started on that journey.” 

Kim Krizan, Academy-Award nominated 

screenwriter, film and stage actor, 

WGA member who co-wrote Before Sunrise 

and Before Sunset with director Richard 

Linklater. Ms. Krizan has acted in several 

films, including Waking Life, Dazed and 

Confused, and Slacker. Her first full-length 

comic book, Zombie Tales: 2061, was 

published by Boom! Studios in July 

2009. 


Screenwriting 

Creating the Screenplay Story and Outline: 

The Screenwriter’s First Step 


Writing a screenplay is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration, and what professional 

screenwriters sweat over when they start a new script is their story and outline. The 

pay-off is that when you take the time to work out your story and create a detailed outline, 

the greater the possibility for a successful first draft. This workshop teaches you 

story structure for the movies, and about all the elements of this crucial first stage of 

the screenwriting process: how to “break” the story, taking it from an idea to a pitch 

and how to create characters that deepen and enrich the story, including learning what 

a villain is for and how to find the right one to play opposite the lead. You also learn 

the essentials of genre expectations, story structure, plots and the role of subplots, 

theme, and creating imagery to support that theme. You leave the class with a solid 

outline and the knowledge that it will provide you with that assurance that writing 

your first draft will be much easier, since you won’t be facing that dreaded blank page. 




Chris Webb, screenwriter whose credits 

include Toy Story II for Pixar Animation 

Studios, Bruno the Kid: The Animated Movie, 

and episodes of the television series 

Duckman. An alumnus of The Second 

City in Chicago, Mr. Webb has won 

numerous awards for his satirical short 

films The Civil War Parody, a satire of the 

Ken Burns series The Civil War, and 

Camcorder Blues, a parody of home videos. 

“Writing is magic. It is the ability to transform 

things that don’t exist in the physical 

realm—ideas and attitudes—and give them 

tangible form. In teaching screenwriting, 

I strive not only to give you a set of practical 

tools you can use to write your first and 

subsequent screenplays, but also help you 

discover and perfect your own personal 

power to move and maybe even change 

others through your work. Whether we’re 

working on a small personal film or big 

studio blockbuster, our job as writers is to 

touch others and remind them of their 

humanity. But for all the high falutin’ 

talk, I promise you that in my Writers 

Studio course, you’ll never know you’re 

discovering your own power as a screenwriter 

because we’ll be having too much 

fun learning and laughing!” 


Screenwriting 



Nothing is taboo in the R-rated comedy, and right now, nothing is hotter at the box 

office. Designed for both first-time writers and those who want to focus on sharpening 

their comedic edge, this workshop shows you how to develop a story that has hilarity 

and heart. After a review of the basic principles of screenwriting (concept, theme, 

character, and structure), you focus on the screenwriter’s R-rated comedy staples: writing 

the outrageous set-pieces, crafting comic perspective, writing exaggerated dialogue, 

developing the inappropriate goal, and defining your own comedic voice. 

Throughout the four days, you learn from masterpieces of the genre—from the 70’s 

(Annie Hall, Animal House) through the 80’s (Risky Business, When Harry Met Sally) to the 90’s 

(There’s Something About Mary) to the films of today (Wedding Crashers, Forgetting Sarah Marshall). By 

Sunday evening, you leave the class with a detailed outline for a screenplay and a lot of 

smiles. Enrollment limited to 18 students. Logistical information for this course must be accessed online. Please 

provide your email address when you register. Upon enrolling, you will be emailed a login and password to the 

Writers Studio site on Blackboard, which will be available beginning December 7, 2010. 

“Funny is money” has always been the adage in Hollywood. If you get someone to laugh 

as they turn the pages of your screenplay, you might have turned the corner on your 

career. But it’s not just about the jokes. We feel that comedy writers should have something 

to say about the human condition, or lack thereof. We also believe you become a 

better screenwriter by watching and reading and writing. Writing from the heart. 

Writing what you care most deeply about. That is always the kind of writing that stands 

out in Hollywood because no one else can be you.

Screenwriting 


with Corey Mandell 

The secret to success is being able to write powerfully constructed scenes populated 

by original characters that compel a reader to want to keep reading. This workshop 

analyzes successful scenes and sequences as well as provides structured writing assignments 

and review of your work to provide the tools necessary to conceive, write, and 

edit professional-caliber scenes and sequences. By working on emotional context, 

narrative intensity, and high impact pacing, you are able to create memorable scenes 

essential for any successful screenplay. You also learn how to properly assemble scenes 

to form sequences, the essential building blocks of narrative structure. Throughout 

the course, you receive feedback on the dynamics of your own scenes and sequences. 

Prerequisite: At least one previous screenwriting course. Enrollment limited to 18 students. Logistical information 

for this course must be accessed online. Please provide your email address when you register. Upon enrolling, you 

will be emailed a login and password to the Writers Studio site on Blackboard, which will be available beginning 

December 7, 2010. 

Corey Mandell, MFA, award-winning 

screenwriter and playwright, WGA 

member who has written projects for 

Ridley Scott, Wolfgang Petersen, John 

Travolta, Universal, 20th Century Fox, 

Fox 2000, Paramount, and Touchstone 

Pictures. Mr. Mandell currently is 

writing Aftermath for Live Planet and 

Walt Disney Pictures. 

“I believe the most important attribute 

determining success or failure in the 

writing game isn’t intellect, knowledge, 

or even skill—it’s courage. The students 

I’ve seen go on to great professional success 

all had the courage to write outside 

their comfort zones, exploring their 

worst weaknesses as opposed to constantly 

hiding behind their strengths. I 

look forward to providing a four-day 

structured and deeply supportive environment 

helping participants write great 

scenes; but more importantly, allowing 

them the freedom to take the chances 

necessary to develop their true potential 

as writers.” 


Screenwriting 



Today, you need that original pilot script in your portfolio to break into the business 

of writing television comedy. In this lively and intensive workshop, you discover the 

ingredients you need to create great sitcoms, learn contemporary techniques to give 

comic conventions a fresh feel, and then set about turning your pilot concept into a 

show that has the “legs” to last five years. In a professional writing room atmosphere, 

you find and select the ideas to build that outline and unearth the unique ingredients 

you bring to the mix: your own comic sensibility, your experience, your creative inspiration, 

your cousin who runs the network. Okay, not everyone has a useful cousin, but 

you will leave the workshop with a solid outline and encouragement to write the script 

that might be your ticket into the business of writing comedy. Prerequisite: At least one television 

or screenwriting course. Enrollment limited to 18 students. Logistical information for this course must be 

accessed online. Please provide your email address when you register. Upon enrolling, you will be emailed a login 

and password to the Writers Studio site on Blackboard, which will be available beginning December 7, 2010. 

“If you have a sense of adventure and the will, we’ll show you the way. We create a fun, 

supportive environment in which you can feel safe enough to express the wealth of 

your ideas, good and bad, until they coalesce into the workable basis for a show. We 

share our years of experience, and help you prime your own creative pump to get those 

funny notions out of your head and onto the page.”
