Writing Teaching and Consultation
Charles Harris co-founded the first screenwriters’ workshop
in the world – London Screenwriters’ Workshop – which became Euroscript.
He has lectured in writing, directing and acting for universities, film schools, actors’ centres and film festivals around the world.
Script Assessment and Consultancy
As an award-nominated novelist and award-winning writer and director for cinema and TV I bring practical creative experience to consulting. For over twenty years I have advised writers, directors and producers on how to realise their vision on the page and on the screen. I have lectured at universities and film schools and run international masterclass workshops. Depending on the individual request I will give succinct bullet point coverage, detailed script assessment or rough-cut analysis, either in written form or in an informal face-to-face meeting, with follow-up questions and notes on further rewrites as needed.
“Thanks Charlie for such a constructive session. I did need just such a focused insight into the story and I came away with a new confidence that I could make it work. Invaluable.”
Holly Aylett, editor Vertigo Magazine, London, UK

“Hugely helpful. Thank you very much. I had a sneaky suspicion that there were problems in the areas you mentioned and I had missed some problems that you have also highlighted.”
N.V. – screenwriter, London, UK
“Thank you for the introduction to Charles Harris. You recommended him for a script evaluation for a UK based project of mine. He did a very thorough analysis and really helped to pinpoint where my script just wasn’t working. He’s also been very generous in responding to my e-mail queries. A really lovely gentleman.”
