ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Meet Fred Graver

Fred Graver is a four-time Emmy-winning writer and producer whose credits include Late Night with David Letterman, In Living Color, Cheers, The Jon Stewart Show, and Best Week Ever. He's held leadership roles at Disney, MTV Networks, Twitter and Discovery.

Over the past decade, he's taught traditional story craft through the Writers Guild Initiative. Now, through the 64,000-member r/WritingWithAI subreddit and Substack newsletter, he's helping writers harness AI while staying true to their authentic voice.

STILL GOT QUESTIONS?

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need prior AI experience?

None. Setup for Success teaches you everything you need. You'll configure your Virtual Writers' Room once, then focus on writing—no tech background required.

2. Do I need to purchase AI subscriptions before I enroll?

No. Start with the free versions of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and NotebookLM. The course includes a diagnostic to help you figure out which tools work best for YOUR writing—then upgrade only what you need.

3. What if I've never written a screenplay before?

Perfect. The course teaches professional story structure from the ground up. You’ll learn the frameworks Emmy-winning writers use, adapted for your story and skill level.

4. Does this work for both film and TV writers?

Yes. The 13 steps are the same—but you'll get format-specific instruction, page targets, and deliverables. Film writers finish with a feature screenplay and pitch deck. TV writers finish with a pilot script AND a complete series bible. Both tracks include video highlight reels.

5. Is this about getting AI to write my story for me?

No. AI is your collaborator, not your ghostwriter. You'll learn to use AI to enhance YOUR voice and YOUR ideas—the course teaches you to write better, not to let AI write for you.

6. How is this different from other AI writing courses?

Most courses teach prompts and shortcuts. This teaches professional craft + strategic AI use. You're learning a system that makes you a better writer, not just someone who knows how to talk to a chatbot.

7. Won't this become outdated as AI tools change?

The course teaches a strategic framework, not just button-pushing. You'll understand WHY certain approaches work, so when tools update or new ones launch, you'll know how to adapt.
