Description:

This course is designed to help students better understand the process of optioning copyrighted material by other writers. During their first week, students will research and choose three works of prose by other writers for optioning. Taking their first choice, students will attempt to locate the rights through publishers, lawyers, agents, etc. There will be weekly individual meetings to check on student progress. If a student's first choice falls through due to already being optioned, or too many legalities, the student will try to option his/her second choice (and so on). 3 CREDIT S PREREQUISITES: ACCEPTANCE INTO LOS ANGELES PROGRAM
