Free Classes with Hollywood Writing Gurus to Celebrate Writers Store's 25th Anniversary

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 12, 2007

The Writers Store, the premier resource center for writers and filmmakers worldwide, today announced an offering of free admission to StoryLink All-Stars Live at The Great American PitchFest, taking place at the Sheraton Hotel at Universal Studios in Los Angeles, CA, on Saturday, June 23, 2007.

In celebration of The Writers Store's 25th anniversary, a throng of top teachers has been assembled to provide a sampling of the best screenwriting instruction available today. The roster includes longtime Writers Store friends like pitch-master Michael Hauge, legendary screenwriting gurus Dr. Linda Seger, Viki King and celebrated dialog coach Karl Iglesias.

"These free classes are our way of saying thank you for the past 25 years," says Writers Store president Jesse Douma. "This is an unprecedented gathering of screenwriting talent, who share our mission of helping writers advance their craft and their careers." Visit http://www.storylink.com/event/pitchfest

This dedication to the creative community has made The Writers Store the foremost destination for Hollywood heavyweights like Nora Ephron, Akiva Goldsman and Wes Craven, to name but a few. From these masters of the cinema to the hopeful aspirant, every writer and filmmaker knows -- when you need technical and artistic support, you turn to The Writers Store.

The roots of The Writers Store can be found in Hollywood's need for new technology. Founders Dan Douma and Gabriele Meiringer first built a loyal customer base by customizing personal computer systems for screenwriters in the days when scribes were still handwriting scripts, or pounding away at Smith-Coronas. Keeping it all in the family, their son Jesse Douma took over the store in 1993, bringing with him fresh new concepts and ideas. He now leads the charge into the next generation of storytelling with an ever-advancing roster of services, books, software, events, group access, contests, seminars and workshops.

The consultants at The Writers Store, all writers and filmmakers themselves, are specially trained to guide clients to the perfect product for their needs. This hands-on approach to clientele also allowed The Writers Store to sense the need for online writing courses and for an interactive networking site. WritersUniversity.com, populated by top-shelf writing authorities like Dave Trottier and Noah Lukeman, and StoryLink.com, an online creative hub, were created in response to this need, both of which carry the success and prestige that are synonymous with The Writers Store name.

For 25 more years and beyond, The Writers Store will continue to provide the kind of unrivaled assistance, expertise and artistic aids vital to creative success.
