I first met Stephanie Kornick in Los Angeles at a pitch meeting for a TV series. I was immediately in awe of her poise, professionalism, creativity, and incredible knowledge of the industry. I’m thrilled to offer the opportunity for our students to learn from Steph. This course is truly special.

For the aspiring TV writer

This course is designed for writers who are ready to explore the art of writing for television. We will emulate a writers’ room in how we workshop material, pitch ideas, and share our stories. I will also share my own personal experiences working in Hollywood — from pitching shows to studios and networks to working as a writers’ assistant. If you have an idea that you’d like to develop into a TV pilot draft, this course offers the virtual space and emotional support to guide your writing process.
This course is broken into four parts over twelve weeks. It’s designed for writers of all levels, who want to develop their idea (even a half-baked one) into a full draft of a TV pilot.
Every Wednesday during the course, there will be a live Zoom call. These live calls are a critical part of your training as they mimic the discussions and dynamics of a real-life writers’ room. Attendance is mandatory.
Zoom Calls:
September 16 to December 2 (Wednesdays) @ 4:00 pm Pacific Time (7:00 pm Eastern)
(See time zone converter)
(One spot remaining)
Please note, there is a $25 processing fee for payment plans.
If you must withdraw from the course, you may transfer your spot at no cost. If you are able to fill your space with another person by August 5th, 2020, you will receive a 100% refund. If you register and withdraw from the course before July 30th, 2020, without transferring your tuition, you are eligible to receive a 50% refund of what you have paid so far. After July 30th, there are no refunds, even if you cannot attend the class. If you can’t fill your space by then and would like to defer your tuition fee to another time, we will do our best to make that happen. Please know that we can’t guarantee that TV Writing will be offered again.
