Amazon Studios to Guest on USA Scriptchat Sunday August 4, 2013!

We are beyond thrilled to finally have Amazon Studios @Amazon_Studios guesting on USA Scriptchat this Sunday, 5pm PST!

Amazon Studios has evolved greatly to better meet our screenwriting community's needs. So if you've been anxious to learn more, this is the time.

I had the privilege of playing with their new storyboarding tool, Amazon Storyteller, and blogging about it for them on their site. (If you're curious about what you can learn about screenwriting by storyboarding, give it a read, Blogging a Story's Foundation... One Board at a Time.)

Don't miss the fun with Amazon Studios! ~ Jeanne @jeannevb
