Katie Dippold created Widow’s Bay, a series nearly 20 years in the making, inspired by childhood memories of being scared and delighted in equal measure - her personal stew of taste and sensibility is what makes it work. #widowsbay #screenwritingtips #screenwriting #writingclass #deathorstory

Of course, the bigger question is, "How does anyone know if their script is excellent or not?"

Easy. Pay for decent script coverage or read tons of screenplays.
