  3. Specificity is Universality: How to Make Your Personal Story A Universal One
  • The Writers Guild Foundation teams up with Stephens College MFA in TV and Screenwriting for a conversation focused on writing universally resonant stories that come from specific, personal experiences. Hear from writers as they share their process for blending the core themes and lessons they learned from their life experiences into the stories they create and strategies you can use when developing your own projects.
