What if you belonged to a community that helps you START and FINISH your scripts?
-
What if you could stop worrying about not being good enough and start getting positive feedback so that you know what to write next?
-
What if you could stop calling yourself an “aspiring writer” because you’re getting paid to write?
Are you trying to break into the animation industry …all alone?

Hello, I'm Pietro Schito
An animation screenwriter working on multiple films, an animated TV series, and shorts. You might have seen me on my Write for Animation YouTube channel, where I post videos on tips and tricks for good writing and interviews with masters of animation.
As a story consultant, I’ve helped storytellers who worked at studios like Pixar, Netflix, Disney, and Dreamworks develop their projects.
A few years ago I almost quit…
I had read all the screenwriting books and watched all the masterclasses available, but no matter how motivated I felt when I’d sit down to write, something would always get in the way…
…and suck me into this endless loop of procrastination:
💪 MOTIVATION
"I know I can write this!"
☕️ READY TO START
"Okay, just a cup of coffee and it's go time!"
😵💫 WRITING
"This is the hardest thing I’ve ever done!"
😔 SELF DOUBT
"I bet real writers enjoy the process, don't they? Maybe I just don't have what it takes."
📺 ENDLESS LOOP OF PROCRASTINATION
"You know what, I should rewatch that one scene it was so well written" (then I’d watch the whole movie)
😩 DISAPPOINTMENT
"I didn't write anything good... again"

Then, I was blessed with a scholarship to study screenwriting in L.A. — I couldn’t believe that an animation nerd like me, an Italian artist, was going to Hollywood!
☝️This is me meeting Hollywood celebrities😜
In L.A., I met several professional animation screenwriters… and slowly realized something rather unexpected…
I WAS NOT ALONE!
These writers were experiencing the same frustrations I was -and they’re professionals!
What do they do differently?
Successful screenwriters focus on three surprisingly simple things:
1 · WRITING CONSISTENTLY
2 · MASTERING THE CRAFT
3 · NURTURING CONNECTIONS
So instead of relying on discipline, I started building a writing habit.
Instead of picking up another screenwriting book, I focused on learning from the masters.
Finally, I created a system to connect with fellow writers, story artists, directors, and producers.
And little by little things started to change.

I finally started writing consistently, getting my first gigs, and meeting more and more professional writers.
I want to offer you what I was missing for far too long. That’s why I’m launching…
