Los Angeles, CA, January 3, 2012

ScreenwritingU, an award-winning, Los Angeles-based company that provides the highest quality online screenwriting classes, is pleased to announce its official designation as InkTip’s #1 Choice for Screenwriting Classes. Named one of the best websites for moviemakers by MovieMaker Magazine, InkTip presents screenwriters’ loglines and synopses to 30,000 producers, online and in its print magazine.

Jerrol LeBaron, founder and CEO of InkTip, says, "InkTip is proud to endorse ScreenwritingU as our number one choice for screenwriting classes and recommend their top-rated resources and services to our clients."

Hal Croasmun, president of ScreenwritingU, says, “I admire what InkTip has accomplished in this industry, so we're truly honored that they have designated us as their #1 choice for screenwriting classes.  Like them, our focus is results.  We conducted corporate training for 15 years before coming to L.A., working with McDonalds, National Car Rental, NASA, Bank of America, Apple, and 125 other major corporations, and those classes were often measured for return-on-investment by the companies we worked with.  So it is natural for us to expect real results out of our classes.   We've applied that same training design to help writers succeed in this industry.”

Croasmun has distinguished ScreenwritingU as a leader in providing award-winning online screenwriting classes and career-building opportunities that screenwriters can find nowhere else. During the last ten years, Croasmun has interviewed over 500 Hollywood producers, managers, agents, and A-list screenwriters to design an "Expert Model" of how a screenwriter succeeds in this tough industry.

“We have helped over 130 screenwriters break into the movie biz," says Croasmun. "In many cases, reading the contracts they’ve been offered, and guiding them through the process of making deals with producers.” See those deals at http://www.ScreenwritingU.com/buzz
