Pinch me. Go on – pinch me – because I must be dreaming that I’vebeen selected for Stowe’s Writers Room Lab this Spring!<\/p>\n

Yes, it’s true – you pay for most of it. But you’re selected based on the writing sample you submit with your application. And, based on the sample pages I sent from my fantast-drama pilot, Righteous<\/em>, I made the cut for Stowe Story Lab’s Writers Room.<\/p>\n

You can read the official announcement here<\/a>.\u00a0Wahoo!<\/p>\n

This is an amazing opportunity for screenwriters to brainstorm, outline, and write a new script. The Writers Room lab lasts for a total of 12 weeks. It is broken into two parts.<\/p>\n

Part I will be hosted by showrunner\/executive producer, Derek Simonds<\/strong> (Call Me By Your Name, Seven And A Match<\/em>). Derek will breakdown Season 1 of his hit TV Show, The Sinner<\/em>, and teach us the fundamentals of building a successful show. He’ll also outline how we can apply techniques he used in creating The Sinner<\/em> in our pilot and series.<\/p>\n

For Part II we will be working with Stowe Story Labs Co-Founder, David Pope<\/strong> (creative producer of The GOAT). With David, we will complete an outline and first draft of our tv pilot. He’ll also prepare us for creating our series bible.<\/p>\n

Part II offers guest speakers who have sold pilots and worked in actual writers rooms for a TV series. There will be peer-to-peer sessions with other participants, and one-on-one sessions with David, where we will can receive feedback on\u00a0 our story progress.<\/p>\n

Sessions will also cover: Episode and Season Structure<\/strong>, Theme<\/strong>, Subtext<\/strong>, and Scene Analysis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I can’t wait to get started!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
