[WATCH THIS] If screenplay format feels intimidating to you…
Okay, after that demo, you can see that screenplay format doesn’t have to be scary.
Maybe you can even see yourself dashing out screenplay pages for your own Christmas movie.
All you need is a roadmap to take you from dreaming about writing a Christmas TV movie to actually doing it.
That’s what you’ll find in the full Christmas Movie Writer Starter Kit!
Even better, until December 17, the Christmas Kit is on sale.
Treat yourself to the Christmas Kit now, save 25%—and gain instant access to:
- a step-by-step roadmap for how to write a Christmas romance TV movie of your very own—even if you have zero screenwriting experience (but, note, the roadmap can be adapted to write a charming Christmas romance novel, instead of a movie)
- a bevy of resources that make it easier to take action on each step (my fave is the casting yearbook; more details on the resources, in a sec!)

Just so you know…
In the Christmas Kit, you’ll find more videos on screenplay format (’cause while the demo was helpful, you might need additional details). There are three of them, one for each main screenplay element (scene headings, action, and dialogue).
Plus, you’ll also have access to the “Write a Scene with Me” feature, where I walk you through writing a scene from the popular Hallmark movie The Nine Lives of Christmas.
It’s like the demo you just watched—only I have the time to go into my complete thought process for transforming scene ideas into screenplay format. This (along with the plotting template) is a student fave:
Of course, there’s more to the Christmas Kit than formatting videos. It’s full of all sorts of goodies, like…
- The Christmas Movie Creator worksheet (which will help you come up with a cute and cozy story idea that’ll fit right in with the Christmas movies on channels like Hallmark)
- A super-simple title hack (with it, you can quickly generate the perfect title that will boost the sales potential of your story)
- A plotting template/checklist (this way, you’ll know you’re hitting all the beats you’re supposed to)
- A casting yearbook (this will help you get to know your characters in a fun and low-stress way)
- A Christmas cheat sheet with 5 staple + 17 additional Christmas/wintery activities (so fulfilling your Christmas quotient is easy, breezy)
- A variety of progress trackers (so you can maintain your writing momentum)
- An editing checklist with 38 common screenplay-writing mistakes (so you can identify and zap them from your script in a flash)
- A query template (so you’ll know exactly what to say when it comes time to sell your script)
- + MORE!!!
With the Christmas Kit’s step-by-step roadmap + carefully curated resources…
…you’ll be able to use your writing skills and creativity to bring more joy to the world—while (1) lingering in Christmas vibes year-round and (2) making side income from home.

Oh wait, did I mention the bonuses?
This year, when you treat yourself to the Christmas Kit, you won’t only save 25%.
In addition—SURPRISE!!!—you’ll receive 3 fun bonuses.
What are these bonuses exactly?
Bonus #1: Cheat Sheet with Top Tips from a Hallmark Screenwriter
A screenwriter who’s written Christmas movies for Hallmark (+ Netflix) created an “Ask Me Anything” thread on an open forum.
As you can imagine, he received a lot of questions.
I waded through them all—yes, ALL—and compiled his best advice into this cheat sheet.
Bonus #2: Mini-Guide on How to Get a Manager
Due to the nature of this niche, it’s possible to sell your Christmas script without representation.
But…if you want to go that route, then you’ll love this mini-guide, which is based on what I learned from attending multiple panels at the Austin Film Festival.
In it, you’ll find advice on topics like:
- what managers look for in a writer
- how to handle a meeting with a manager
- how to pitch yourself to studio executives
If you’re a novelist, you might also find this info helpful in your quest to sign with a literary agent.
Speaking of novelists…this next bonus is just for you!
Bonus #3: Guidelines from Hallmark Publishing
These are the guidelines that Hallmark posted when their publishing division was open (sadly, it has since closed).
Their guidelines have now vanished from the internet, but…
…I still have a copy, which you’ll get as part of this bonus.
Now you might wonder why this would be useful if Hallmark Publishing is closed.
Well, their guidelines can give you more insight into how to shape your story for publishers who continue to release Christmas romance novels.
Or, perhaps, you can use these guidelines as you self-publish your holiday fiction.
Psst: The executive editor who used to run Hallmark Publishing has started offering freelance editing services. In this bonus, I’ll also provide you with her contact info in case that’s the kind of assistance you’re looking for.
