When her agent drops her, a shy ?love story? author attends a horror movie workshop where screenwriters are kept prisoner by a perverse guru who makes them die like their characters, so that only the best writer will survive.
The premise seams weak and lacks an essence of probability. In Saw which you mentioned earlier the characters were physically trapped in a complex where as that doesn't seam the case here. As such what is it that makes them want to go through the horror of what they write? If the killing is supernatRead more

If the killing is supernatural and out of their control and will happen regardless their being in the house or not (like in The Ring), then presumably they would need to stick around and find a way to stop it. So if their motivation becomes survival against the odds which could be interesting.

The inciting incident may need some clearing up as her joining the group is less a significant and radical event. Perhaps after her publisher threatened to drop her or her publishing deal is put in danger, point is something drastic needs to happen to push her to do something.
Other wise you can use the first death of a writer in the group as an inciting incident.
Also the goal needs clarity, do they need to write the best book to survive? Do they need to fight a super natural power with their writing somehow? Do they need to satisfy a psychotic publisher that entrapped them?
Hope this helps.
