What to Expect
It's important for every writer to have a solid script AND to show executives that they are collaborative and professional to work with. Limited to only 5 writers, these 2-week Rewrite Clinics are designed to give writers an opportunity to develop a solid script and collaborate with an industry professional.
The executive will read your script and meet with you one-on-one for 25 minutes. You'll receive notes from your executive, get to know them, and let them get to know you!
Then you will have a week between sessions to revise your pages and in the second roundtable, you'll have another 25-minute meeting to talk about the submitted revisions.
Joining Sessions
Rewrite Clinics meet online via virtual classroom utilizing video conferencing software ZOOM.

Just relax. Communicate your personal connection to the story. Visual elements are always appreciated. Explain your characters. Who will we meet in this world? What is the antagonist force or person the main character will have to overcome. If it is a series, what is the vision for the second season and beyond.
Have fun! This is a creative environment.
I am particularly interested in television and film comedies, YA, teen dramas, Family dramedies, rom-coms, workplace comedies, and stories about or from a Millennial point of view. Also interested in other specified genres outside of the above. Looking for vibrant and defined characters in larger than life situations.
I am not interested in science fiction, westerns, horror (outside of teen slashers), period pieces or biographies.
