Marilyn Horowitz, the president of ArtMar Productions and creator of The Horowitz System®, is an award-winning NYU professor, a producer, a screenwriter, and a successful New York-based writing coach. She is the author of How to Write a Screenplay in 10 Weeks and the script consultant of the recent Warner Bros. film And Then Came Love, starring Vanessa Williams.  Her students include published novelists, produced screenwriters, and award-winning filmmakers.

For more than a decade, Marilyn’s book has been a required text at New York University’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies. The book is also required in the NYU Graduate Film Program, where she teaches "Writing The Feature" and "Aesthetics II."

Her book, How to Write a Screenplay Using The Horowitz System®— The High School Edition was recently approved for use by the Montgomery County Public School system in Maryland.

How to Write a Screenplay Using The Horowitz System® - The Middle School Edition is used as part of the "Lights, Camera, Literacy!" program in the MCPS.

The Horowitz System® is a unique writing method for writers and non-writers alike. Using a special series of visualization exercises, the Horowitz System® teaches screenwriters to write faster and better by giving them a focused, easy-to-use method. The system teaches aspiring writers to write by using their natural storytelling abilities to see their life as a movie and translate it onto the page.
