Great Opportunity for Aspiring TV Writers

Submitted by georgiana on Wed, 05/19/2010 - 03:26.

Writers on the Verge submissions open next week. This is a great opportunity for aspiring television writers. It takes place over twelve weeks and classes focus on a great spec script and the skills you need to sell it and yourself. From the website:

Classes concentrate on creating an exceptional spec script and understanding the dynamics of pitching oneself in the television industry. Writers are given the chance to interact with industry players ranging from network executives to showrunners to agents and receive valuable feedback on their work and pitch style. Writing assignments on a NBC television show may be available after successful completion of the program but are not a guarantee. Past participants have gone on to series including Community, Burn Notice, White Collar, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Friday Night Lights and Chuck.
