ABOUT THE WEBINAR

Now is the time to be writing TV pilots as existing cable and broadcast channels, plus streaming players like Amazon and Netflix, continue to buy up original fare with an ever increasing appetite. The opportunities and potential rewards for writers, even new ones, have never been better. In the past year alone, over 41 of Corey Mandell's students have sold pilots or pitches to the major players.

An extremely well executed spec pilot script is required to break into the TV business--even for those seeking to get staffed on an existing show as showrunners are now looking at original material when deciding on which new writers to bring onto their shows. Yet managers and agents routinely complain that too many writers waste valuable time writing a script with little to no chance at success. The reason is too many aspiring writers don't understand the current marketplace, and as a result, are simply writing the wrong kinds of scripts.

This intensive Master webinar class is designed for writers seeking an edge in breaking into, and thriving in the highly competitive but lucrative TV market.
