Are you an writer, author, expert or content creator who could use a boost with your idea generation or promotion strategy and how to tackle its implementation?
If you answered yes any of these questions -- I am incredibly excited about the possibilities for you to meet and exceed your dreams with what I am about to share... Hi, this is Philippa Burgess. My particular passion and professional niche is "marketing for writers". Working in the entertainment industry and as a partner at a literary management, film & TV production and entertainment consulting firm I've gained experience and insights working across mediums from studio feature films and television to publishing, PR, events and online marketing. The world of entertainment and media continues to evolve and although writers, authors, experts, and content creators have more opportunities now than ever before, you also have to take more responsibility when it comes to developing, positioning, and promoting your material. Wherever you are in your creative process, this course is designed to help you gain a better understanding of view of how to successfully develop and promote your ideas, messages, stories, i.e. "content" through the various entertainment and media channels. If you are interested in learning how to develop, package, promote and sell your ideas with greater ease and confidence -- this program offers you insights, motivation and inspiration for taking your content and platform development further faster -- Last year I offered this class exclusively to participants from Susan Harrow's PR Secrets. She is the author of "Selling Yourself Without Selling Your Soul" and "How to Get a 6-Figure Book Deal" and T. Harv Eker's Peak Potentials, Never Work Again Intensive Training. He wrote the National Bestseller "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind" and his company Peak Potentials run the incredibly popular Millionaire Mind Intensive and many other wealth development and personal growth seminars. The testimonials I receive from my participants in this and my other teleseminar courses are awesome.
We created such a special community -- and I look forward to doing it again this year with you. We've changed it up a bit, so this is the first time I am offering YOUR SIGNATURE STORY as an intensive. YES, SIGN ME UP! Class meets on Saturdays at 10AM Pacific and Sundays at 3PM Pacific (Live Worldwide). This three week intensive runs March 29th through April 13th.

ARE YOU A CONTENT CREATOR?
(Each lecture runs 100 minutes plus up to an additional 45 minutes of Q&A) Saturday, March 29th - Finding Your Signature Story & The Value of a Media Brand Sunday, March 30th - Navigating the Business of Entertainment & Media Tuesday, April 1st - Film, Television, Publishing Principles & Strategies Saturday, April 5th - Creating Compelling Content: Your Angle, Your Audience, Your Competition Sunday, April 6th - Navigating Hollywood & Beyond: Moving Your Content Through Proper Channels Tuesday, April 8th - New Media, Marketing & PR Principles & Strategies Saturday, April 12th - The Art of Celebrity: Find Your Audience, Know Your Medium, Build Your Platform Sunday, April 13th - Your Media Brand: Relationships, Recognition and Responsibility
IS THERE MORE? What is your core message, and how does your platform enhance that message to build a media brand? It starts by identifying your MESSAGE that is truly authentic to you and can be found in the center of a triangle that is YOU, YOUR AUDIENCE, and YOUR MISSION. We then work through how to develop and move your ideas, stories, books and personalities through ideas entertainment and media channels in order to build your platform and develop, package or promote your content. As readers, viewers, and consumers, what we really connect with is the authenticity of a story. As humans we each have a personal story to tell that is authentic to us and yet genuinely captures and shares truths about our collective human experience. No matter who we are, we each have a "signature" story. Our stories can be told as Real World Fiction, Fantasy/Animated Fiction, Narrative Non-Fiction or General Non-Fiction. The truth is that most of what we see at the highest levels of entertainment and media is the result of an organic process that has been years in the making. However, all great ideas are a natural extension of their authors who bring their most personal perspectives and unique voice to the ideas, messages and stories they have to share. They also, all started somewhere. All those who are interested in being content creators have the inherent potential to grow a "seed" of an idea, message, or story into a fully grown media brand, given the right passion, focus, guidance and commitment. I am here to faciliate you with this process to take your ideas and initiaties to the next level. WHAT ELSE DO I BRING TO THE CONVERSATION? Working as an entertainment professional, we see first hand that the business continues to change. There are so many more opportunities now, many of which didn't even exist five to ten years ago. That said, there is also a lot more competition, which is why getting the information, applying it, presenting yourself in a professional way, and having a great network is essential to your success. These classes provide us with an opportunity to offer a little bit of our experience and guidance to support you wherever you are at in your process of creating and selling content to building a recognizable media brand.

TESTIMONIALS "Everyone wants to say thanks, and I'm chiming in as well, but I wanted to also say that Philippa's teleseminar is the best thing I've done in years. I've always wanted to be a writer, and I've been lucky enough to actually sell some minor things, but I've never even considered how to manage my career. How do you set things up so that you're the "Go To" guy and people call you to do the thing that you love? That's what Phillippa's teleseminar does. She tells you how to build a career. Not just this one off write a screenplay and hope someone buys it, and then another one and another one that will sit on your hard drive, she gave me practical, tested advice that moves me forward instead of running around in circles. I cannot recommend her highly enough and I'm glad I took this class." - Scott Jenkins "This class is amazing! Philippa Burgess is brilliant, insightful, and generous. I learned so much. If only my professors had taught me all this at UCLA film school, I might have saved myself a lot of time and aggravation. Thanks again for a wonderful and informative course!" - David Wisehart "Great...very informative!" - E.M. "Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I am so excited about being a part of this. I have always known that I wanted to write movies and make creatures. I have never given up and couldn't if I tried, even though it is a long hard road. You... are making it seem so much clearer and closer to becoming a reality. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!" - Greg Greeson "Just a quick note to say Thank You! You are amazing and I appreciate everything you’re doing!" Zach Nelson "I am compelled to send you a big 'thank you' for your course. The information has given me a new perspective on my writing. It has opened up another world of opportunities I had never contemplated before. Although there was a tremendous amount of information to digest, you were always patient, answering each question clearly and concisely so even a novice to the Hollywood arena could understand." - Sharon Outlaw
"I just wanted to thank you again for all of the energy you put into the seminar, which was a fantastic learning experience, and next to impossible to come by outside of LA." - Blair Dalton "I'm truly grateful to you for sharing your invaluable insight into the industry with the us...As you pointed out - a writer is much more than just a person who "You are such a great teacher providing BOTH information and inspiration! I truly enjoyed listening and learning from you and sincerely hope it doesn't stop now that the class has wrapped." - Lanser Howard
"In each session I felt like I just got 10 years of shared experience in under 90 minutes." - Saxon Moen, Screenwriter "Thank you for taking the time to conduct the workshop. You sound like a mover and shaker, along with being very intelligent." - Virginia Rothrock "Let me publicly thank Philippa for an eye-opening course and for the wealth of information she's provided on the Google Groups site. Over the last few years, as I've made my way into the business, I've been quite voracious in absorbing information from multiple sources, but I've learned a great deal from Philippa that I've never heard elsewhere. Within months of taking her Million-Dollar Screenwriting Career course, my writer partner and I secured representation from the respected management firm Circle of Confusion. It was our writing that attracted their attention, but the professional confidence and insights I learned from Philippa helped seal the deal." -- John Zussman, Screenwriter "I wanted to express my thanks for putting together such a great course! The course is filled with practical tips for understanding the roles of different people and companies in the industry and provides a number of useful tips on 'insider terminology'. I loved the guidance to help create my personal roadmap to navigate the system. Plus...your enthusiasm and positive attitude is refreshing and infectious. Thanks again! I look forward to putting your insights to work." - Alex Jarrett, Writer, Publisher "It provided me with a great starting point and helped me to identify all the things 'I didn't know that I didn't know!' Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience with us." - Deirdre Woodard
