Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Forty writers participating in the May 2014 Writing Event Day, with 10 percent or more writers being high school students, and 60 attendees at the fall 2014 Public Reading. Event Day Follow-up survey showing 75% favorable rating and 50% would do the event again.Besides audience/participant counts at the event and the public reading, Screenwriters Workshop will use a participant survey following the May event to rate satisfaction and also to see what can be improved. Along with the Screenwriters Workshop Board's evaluation, Screenwriters Workshop will also ask the webisode judges for their feedback on the quality of the writing and what could be done to improve it.
