Hi, I'm Naomi Beaty -- screenwriting consultant, teacher, and author of The Screenplay Outline Workbook and Story Structure Made Easy. I help writers craft emotionally resonant, structurally sound screenplays through consultations, workshops, and practical resources.

I've been writing about screenwriting online since 2018, and this show features "discussions" of my articles, brought to life by synthetic hosts.

I feed the robots only articles I've personally written. And I'll include extra notes when something needs clarification. But, just like when you listen to humans, don't take anything you hear as gospel. As always, take what's useful, leave the rest, and keep writing!

This podcast is simply meant to be a fun, low-key way to share some of the hundreds of screenwriting articles I've written in a new format. Perfect for listening on a walk or while you're brainstorming your next big idea.

—NAOMI'S NOTES ON THIS EPISODEThe robots mention "story analyst Christopher," but for some reason they fail to mention his last name! Sorry, Christopher Lockhart! You're wonderful.At the end of this episode, the robots seem intent on making loglines a tool you can use for any project in your life, which is entirely their idea, and I can't say I agree. The kind of logline I talk about in the original article and in my book, Logline Shortcuts, is very specifically a brief story synopsis. A tool writers use when developing and/or pitching their scripts or novels.If you'd like an in-depth look and a step-by-step process for writing a logline, check out Logline Shortcuts here: https://a.co/d/gLXfS2t
