It usually goes like
this: the pilot is all that network execs are really interested
in at first.
That's because the pilot demonstrates basic writing and gives them a
sense of where things will go (the season's "map" is built
into any good pilot). But once they've decided they like a pilot, then
they want to see more—your series bible, particularly the first
season's sketch.
A strong series bible is a crucial sales tool for your series. This
workshop will help you get your TV series ready for an executive by
developing your series premise, honing your pilot, and writing your
series bible.

Introduction to Playwriting

There are few feelings more exciting
than sitting in the back of a dark theatre watching live actors perform
your words, while an audience laughs and cries or even shifts

playwright looking to sharpen your skills, this course offers clear,
step-by-step guidance in the basics.

Format himself) show you the necessary techniques and currently

only will he teach you the rules of script formatting, he will show you
when and how to break them.
