Part 1: Pilot-Writing — First Steps for Writers New to TV Writing

So, you want to write a pilot, but you’re new to the TV game. Terrific! Many TV writers today come from diverse writing backgrounds. During this hands-on session, we’ll dig into laying the groundwork for a solid pilot — including honing in on your protagonist, carving out your logline, as well as embracing your tone and comps.

Christina Quintana (CQ) will be teaching two classes on TV Writing. The first will be on Monday, April 12th at 7pm-8:30pm EST, and the second on Monday April 19th at 7-8:30pm EST. Both will be on Zoom. You can take either class separately, or both!
