WANT TO WRITE A TV DRAMA PILOT?

The more prepared you are, the more likely you are to be able to nail it.
 
We all need deadlines, to haul us away from those pesky displacement activities and compel us to finally pursue that great idea, the one that’s been percolating away in the back of our brain for months.
 
This 3-step package is suitable for script writers of all levels, from first timers to those with prior credits who prefer not to work in isolation.
 
You will receive professional, one-to-one feedback and guidance on your TV drama pilot as you progress from initial idea through series treatment to producing a blueprint Scene Breakdown from which to write your first draft.

COURSE CONTENT

You can do this course from home, wherever you are in the world, so long as you are fluent in written and spoken English. The programme runs for six weeks and involves the following three step programme:

  1. THE PITCH
 
  • Submit a pitch/outline of your idea (or two, if you’re not sure which one to pursue) for a TV drama series. This document should be up to one page in length - you'll receive tips on what it should contain before writing.
  • Discuss your story in detail during a one-hour private consultation– via Skype/phone 

 2.    THE TREATMENT 

  • Submit your two-page story treatment 
  • Receive written notes PLUS a one-hour private Skype/phone consultation- including guidance on how best to develop your story and characters 

 3.    THE STEP OUTLINE 
​
  • Submit a step outline (AKA a Scene Breakdown or Scene x Scene document) detailing each scene for a (max) one hour pilot episode of your TV drama. This document will become the blueprint from which to write your script. You will receive guidance on this step of the process if you haven't done one before
  • You will receive written feedback PLUS a one hour phone/Skype consultation, during which you will be able to troubleshoot any story or character issues with your script doctor
 
You can then proceed to writing the first draft of your script, with clear characters, story and structure all in place. ​

Preparation work will be required prior to feedback/consultation sessions and, once agreed, all deadlines must be met.
