Mini Writers Boot Camp

Join us on August 2, as Jeffrey Gordon, founder and president of Writers Boot Camp, takes us through 90 minutes of conceptual development designed to help you get your story tied down prior to beginning the writing process. While the six-week intensive Writers Boot Camp process was designed mainly for screenwriters, the techniques you will learn on Saturday are beneficial to writers in all formats and genres.

Jeffrey Gordon was born and raised in Chicago. His interest in writing led him to Los Angeles, where his early jobs included taking Peter Bogdanovich’s cat to the vet, delivering mail so well that he earned fast promotion through the William Morris Agency training program, and reading scripts as a story analyst at many of the prominent indie companies that no longer exist today.

In 1989, during his last semester of the Peter Stark Motion Picture
Producing Program at USC Film School, Jeff created the unique screenwriting tools for the first session of Writers Boot Camp, held in his living room. Soon after, having set up the spec feature RUBICON as a producer -- with Arnold Schwarzenegger attached -- he continued the expansion of Writers Boot Camp, focusing on developing support services for writers, including methods of applying discrete math to the creative process, and a national community of talented alumni.

A consultant to the studios, Jeff launched Writers Boot Camp
Productions to develop properties with the next tier of up-and-coming alumni writers and filmmakers. Jeff is also the founder of the philanthropic Screenwriting Museum Project, which has been created to promote the role of the screenwriter in the history of film and television.
