2009 Television

Writers Program





This program is not for beginners. It is for those writers who can write at least one half-hour comedy or one-hour dramatic television script in English within a five-week period of time.



The program will take place in Los Angeles, CA from November 7th to December 12th. Each participant is expected to complete at least one script by the end of the five-week session, which will then be read by network executives.



Those writers whose scripts show promise will be interviewed and mentored by the network executives with the idea of placing them on a show. Nine of our writers from previous sessions have already been placed.



A stipend of $250 per week will be given to each participant.

Flight, housing, and meals will be provided.


The program will commence on November 7th.

If selected, you must be available to fly and stay in Los Angeles, CA
from November 7 —December 12, 2009
