SW 632 - Writing Workshop II: Writing Series Television

Credits: 4 credits
With the quantity of TV programming exploding over multiple platforms-network stations, cable stations, and streaming video services-the demand for TV content has never been higher. In this workshop, students learn writing original TV pilots and spec scripts for existing cable/streaming/television shows-and decide which to pursue and complete from outline to final draft. They learn how to best position themselves in this expanding, but still extremely competitive market. Each student completes two drafts of a script with the final draft worthy of submitting to script competitions, national television writing workshops, and a growing number of television festivals. This workshop has three componentsindependent writing and reading, advisory meetings, and asynchronous and synchronous group workshops with peer critiques.
