THE WRITERS ROOM (Singapore) is a professional script coverage and screenwriting academy designed for professional screenwriting development in Singapore. It was founded by the very writers who, through working with James, got their stories professionally produced.

In operation since 2019, it is today a creative community of like-minded individuals keen to improve their script writing abilities, and shape ideas for features, serials and plays.
