TV is a writer?s medium and in this workshop we?ll walk through the logistics of how scripted television gets made from a writer?s perspective ? from pilot development through series production. We?ll also discuss TV writers? career ladder and, time-permitting, bounce some ideas around in a mini writers? room session.
