The Utah Screenwriters Group gets together in person at least once a month in the Salt Lake City area. We read each other's work. We discuss writing and movies. We laugh. We cry. We go home happy.

You do not need to be a member to post a message to our group. We welcome announcements from non-members if they are on-topic. If you would like to post a message that would be of interest to our members, please email your posting to utahscreenwriters@yahoogroups.com

Meetings are held at 7:00 pm in the cafe of the Sugarhouse Barnes Noble at 2100 South and Highland Drive, which is just off the 1300 East exit of I-80.

New writers, please register and provide both an email address and a phone number. Jim or Holly will contact you to welcome you and talk about the "physical world" aspects of the group.

Don't get it right, get it written.  ~James Thurber

Best advice I've ever received: Finish  ~Peter Mayle

The bad novelist constructs his characters; he directs them and makes them speak. The true novelist listens to them and watches them act; he hears their voices even before he knows them.  ~Andre Gide

Make your characters want something right away even if it's only a glass of water. Characters paralyzed by the meaninglessness of modern life still have to drink water from time to time.  ~Kurt Vonnegut
