Writing The Killer One Pager

“I enjoyed Bob’s easy and etensive knowledge, with the clearly stated structure at the beginning, and then the clear use of examples to illustrate each point throughout.”

“Bob doesn’t teach process, he teaches insight. I really enjoyed the speed, knowledge and clarity.”

“This was the most productive course ever! In such a short time, I could finish the first draft of my one pager. That was so helpful.”

“Such a brilliantly put together and practical course. I really appreciate how much effort Bob put into preparing this. An incredibly productive experience.”

“Concise. Sharp. To the point. I would like to be able to build an annex to my house to accommodate Bob and his family. I could then regularly nip across and get supreme screenwriting advice.”

“I loved the examples and clear explanations of each stage, plus Bob’s style of delivery. Bob clearly loves what he does and the whole world of it, it really comes across and infuses the air with excitement to create.”

“Having been unsure as to how to format a one pager and finding numerous different strategies online, I found this course to be the most clear cut and easy to understand way of approaching the one pager.”

“I enjoyed the clear and easy steps to follow, with great video and text examples for each stage. There was also time to explore each section before moving to the next. And it is great to have these examples sent later to revise and embed what I’ve learnt, the slides and video recording of the day.”

“Bob teaches writing like a ‘badass motherf*cker’, there is no escape from his knowledge imparting. There’s nowhere to hide, nowhere to run, you WILL write a killer one page.”

“This class had the perfect combination of three things. Bob’s entertaining and frank delivery. The examples from the films which were very clear. And the the practical element of writing the synopsis and the feedback.”

“I liked that you shared whole one pagers from a variety of different types of films. I think we’ve all seen the tips and the instructions but it’s so hard to find GOOD examples to inspire us. I listened to those one pagers and felt in no way short-changed in terms of essential plot, character and tone. I learn best when working from examples and so I think this course is invaluable in that sense. Finally, I liked how interactive it was, making us participate and give those ten steps a go right there and then. It was nice that you allowed for writers to share whilst not putting anyone under pressure to share if they didn’t want to. Nice videos edited to demonstrate the one pagers. I have to be honest and say I thought it was ALL good. Mind blown. It’s really amazing just how passionate and open Bob is about making us better writers. The effort that has been put into creating these classes, the resources that are shared, the energy that is present is inspiring. At the end of the day we all just want to share our stories and everything that you’re doing is to help us get over our own hurdles. You get our passion but most of all you get our weaknesses and so thank you for pushing us to be better at what we want to do.”

“It was very hands-on. I ended up having the first draft of the one-pager. It would have probably taken me days to do it by myself, so I’m really happy about it.”

“I expected to end up with a one-pager for pitching, but Bob’s structure also proved a brilliant tool to identify what wasn’t working yet. I will use this approach as part of outlining and testing future stories before I sit down to write. It was a great mix of listening/watching and doing. Very focused, which also meant there was time to answer questions and discuss issues.”

“I liked that we got to write our own one pager in stages throughout the day and Bob’s feedback on everyone’s writing was awesome. He has just the right blend of being enthusiastic and motivating and also constructive and critical. He immediately understood and got to the crux of everyone’s writing and was able to give constructive notes. I learned such a massive amount in a short space of time. The examples used were extremely helpful and were from a good mix of different genres. The day was the perfect mix of instruction and practical exercises carried out at just the right pace.”

“I enjoyed the practical side of it. Getting to do the writing there and then. Bob was very good and clear and fair in his feedbacks and that the course worked well in a zoom environment.”

“Straight to the point, practical and productive. I loved the 50-word 7-minute ticking clock exercises on this course – it forces you to cut to the core in a very practical and productive way, as well as being able to write on your own, while at the same time as feeling like you’re in a writer’s room with everyone else, working on their own project. Very inspiring as always.”

“Bob helped me identify what REALLY has to go in that one-pager and I ended up with a great first draft with clear directions of where to proceed with it”

“This workshop does exactly what it says on the tin. You WILL come away with your one-pager DONE.”

“The alternating between the practical (actual writing) and the theory was great. I like this ten step method, it’s open enough to use as a model to structure my story, as opposed to some of the structure models that I find constrictive.”

“I liked the breakdown of how to write a one pager with the help of watching and breaking down the example films. Compared to sitting down at home trying to write a one pager, the course is much more effective!”

“I thought the course was very well presented and the information, clips and activities were very well planned. It didn’t feel rushed, nor did it drag, it was well distributed for the time allocated and Bob has got a very inclusive and personable way about him that makes the course very effective. It was great and I am very glad I signed up. I’ll definitely be recommending it to fellow writers!”

“The course re-established my joy of writing on a deep level, it gave me new ideas for scenes as I had to do the 7-minute force writing”

“The pace was perfect. I felt engaged 100% of the time. The information was relevant, useful, professionally presented and thoughtfully curated. The structure organised my thoughts and clarified the purpose of the document. Bob was personable, interesting, informed and professional. I enjoyed every minute and highly recommend!”

“If like me you struggle with synopses and treatments and so on, this workshop is SUPER helpful!”

“I really appreciate the opportunity to take such a great class online, especially as I’m based in Sweden and even without the pandemic, adding travel costs in often puts me off attending such events.”
