(CENTRAL COAST, CA) Enrollment is now open for "Your Screenwriting Career," an online course for aspiring screenwriters taught by veteran Hollywood screenwriter, instructor and multi-book author Skip Press. The course is offered by Virtual University on the KSURF Knowledge Web, a global e-learning community.

The course curriculum is comprised of 24 high-quality lessons covering topics such as: The Life of Hollywood, The Evolution of Screenwriting, Inside the Hero's Heart, Inside the Villain's Brain, Making the Perfect Screenplay Better, and Getting Your Script Out to People Who Matter. Beginning screenwriters will gain an insider view of business and industry trends as well as valuable insights into how a screenplay is structured. Students who complete the class and pass a final exam can earn CEU credits.

"Your Screenwriting Career" is taught in a virtual classroom environment developed by KSURF that combines downloadable course materials, a discussion board, streaming news, video clips and a blog. Instructor Skip Press taught this course at UCLA Extension Writers Program, and for the past eight years, the class was offered through an extension program at 1,500 colleges around the country, attracting thousands of writers.

Online learning has skyrocketed in popularity, and KSURF's e-learning platform offers distinct advantages over a traditional classroom. There's no waiting for classes to begin - students can enroll and start learning immediately. The instructor's "office" is open 24/7 and students can work at their own pace from the comfort of home. In addition, unlike most classrooms where students depart after finishing a course, KSURF's innovative "open learning" platform encourages graduates to remain involved and share knowledge and resources with fellow e-learners.
