In 2011, Bhattacharya launched Script Anatomy, just as her career was taking off. Her objective was to use her experience of breaking into the industry and building a career to help other writers do the same. She created a unique curriculum with trademark tools for development, writing and rewriting, which have helped hundreds of writers either staffed, find representation, or sell pilots, screenplays and novels. As a guest instructor, Bhattacharya has brought the Script Anatomy method to ISA (the International Screenwriters Association), Stage 32, the TV Writers Fund, and, for the past 3 years, the Disney | ABC Writing Program. She has mentored for ISA and CineStory TV Writers Retreat in Idyllwild.[1]
