If you want to write for TV, then you have to work well in a writers' room. In addition to having killer samples, you have to be able to work with other writers to build on their ideas. You need to be able to collaborate, pitch ideas, take notes quickly, and revise, revise, revise. There's a lot more to being a staff writer than meets the eye, and one of the best ways to see your own show on air is to establish yourself as a good staff writer.
But how do you develop those skills? How do you collaborate within the hierarchy of the room? And what is really expected of a staff writer day-to-day?
Roadmap has put together this special 4-week course to teach you everything you need to know to kill it in your first staffed position!
Writers will walk away from this course with a first draft of a pilot sample .
This 4-Week Course Will Cover:
- Story documents
- Outlining
- Drafting and revising
- The etiquette and rules of the room
