Online Workshop
Do you have a TV pilot you've been wanting to write in a creative, supportive environment? This is the perfect screenwriting workshop to launch you towards your goal. Over 10 weeks, you will focus on the development of an original series pilot—starting with a logline, drafting pitch materials, working on character development and arcs, crafting a series bible, and mapping an outline (the key to your pilot). In virtual workshop sessions, participants will receive feedback from their instructor and cohort, as well as discuss reading assignments and lectures.
Take TV Writing Workshop Pilot I either as a standalone course or continue on with TV Writing Workshop Pilot 2.
