COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Your written proposal is likely your first shot at impressing a commissioning editor or funder so it's important to craft a proposal that demands attention. Using real-world examples, students will learn about the various elements of a documentary proposal, how to craft a proposal that stands out amongst the crowd, and practice creating these elements as it relates to a project of their own.
