About the TV Writers Room Program:
This program is designed for a new TV project, not revisions to an existing television project.
The writing sample should be a sample of a previous TV pilot you have written, or if this will be your first TV project, please send a strong sample of a feature script or some other material you have written in another format to help us evaluate your writing skills.
Part I delves into building a show. David Pope will take participants through building the fundamentals of a successful TV show and teach them how to apply these techniques to writing a new TV pilot.
Past contributors to Part One of the Program have included Screenwriter/Showrunner Clive Bradley (TRAPPED, and CASTLEVANIA: NOCTURNE), Creative Producer Alex Boden (SENSE 8, TOKYO VICE), Screenwriter (and Stowe Alum) Melody Cooper (LAW & ORDER SVU, POWERBOOK IV), Screenwriter/Showrunner Mark Protosevich (SUGAR, I AM LEGEND), Writer and Producer Peter McKenna(KIN), and Screenwriter/Showrunner Derek Simonds (THE SINNER). 2026 contributors to be announced.
Part II will focus on writing a show and will also be led by David Pope.
Writers Room will run Sundays for roughly twelve weeks and will run from 12 - 3 PM Eastern Time.
