SUMMARY:Storywise 10-Week TV Spec & Pilot Teleseminar 2018 – Begins Tuesday\, March 6th 7:00 pm PST ONLINE
DESCRIPTION:Classes begin on Tuesday March 6th at 7:00 pm ONLINE and go through May 15\, 2018\nThis is a 10-week program designed to help you write a high quality TV pilot AND spec script. In 10-weeks\, I will teach you how to learn to write at a level that will help lead your script to a sale\, get staffed on a show\, place in a writing competition or get into one of the various writing programs. This course is everything that I teach in Writers on the Verge and more. \nLast year we had over 100 writer participants from all over the world. You will not only learn all of the story tools that you need to succeed\, you will gain the opportunity to be in a private community of writers. This community is a very valuable resource. You all will have the opportunity to learn from one another via networking\, exchanging scripts and possibly starting your own writer groups. \nI’ve seen the success from this course first-hand. Many of the writers who have taken this 10-week course have gone on to sell pilots\, get staffed on TV shows and get into several of the prestigious writing programs. Fifty-Two of my writers have sold pilots… and 6 of them have gone to series. \nEach class will consist of a half-hour of instruction (you will receive these videos before each class to watch at your leisure.) Each call is approximately 2 – 2 ½ hours in length. On each call\, we will go over the notes for the 4 writers participating at Level #3 and I will choose one writer from Level 2 or Level 4 each week to participate. You will have an opportunity to read their scripts and make your own notes each week. You will also get to share your notes with those writers directly. This is what we do in Writers on the Verge. It is a way to prepare you for being in the Writers’ Room. Then\, five people that sign up each week will get an opportunity to pitch to a guest speaker. We all learn from hearing others pitch. This part of the program was designed to help you learn from the pitching style of others as well as give you the opportunity to pitch yourself. It’s an invaluable tool. Every level will have an opportunity to sign up for this. \nLEVEL 1 \nAt Level 1\, you get to participate in all 10 classes. You will receive a recording of the classes. You will have an opportunity to sign up to pitch to my weekly guest speakers. You get to be part of a private Facebook community. You will also get to turn in a 1-2 page pitch document on your TV spec and TV pilot script. You will receive written feedback. You have up to a year after the course is finished to turn this in. \nRegular rate – $375.00 \nSPECIAL OFFER – $225.00 (LIMITED TIME OFFER) \n \n  \nRate for writers who have taken this before – $225.00 \n  \n \n  \nLEVEL 2 \nAt Level 2\, you get to participate in all 10 classes. You will receive a recording of the classes. You will have an opportunity to sign up to pitch to my weekly guest speakers. You get to be part of a private Facebook community. This level also includes a one-on-one consult for your TV spec and/or TV Pilot script. \nLevel 2 w/ TV Pilot Consult \nRegular Rate – $1\,050.00 \n \nFor Alumni of my Storywise Teleseminar – $900.00 \n \n  \nLevel 2 w/ TV Spec Consult \nRegular Rate – $875.00 \n \n  \nFor Alumni of my Storywise Teleseminar – $775.00 \n \n  \nLevel 2 w/ TV Pilot and Spec Consult \nRegular Rate – $1\,600.00 \n \n  \nFor Alumni of my Storywise Teleseminar – $1\,275.00 \n \n  \nLEVEL 3 \nAt Level 3\, you will receive feedback every week on your TV spec and/or TV pilot script. This includes written and verbal feedback. You will receive a recording of the classes. You will have an opportunity to sign up to pitch to my weekly guest speakers. You get to be part of a private Facebook community. \n  \nFor the first time\, I am going to offer you the option of not writing a TV spec. You can either write one TV pilot during the 10 weeks or you can write 2 TV pilots during the 10 weeks. \n  \nThere are only 4 SLOTS for this level: two for drama and two for comedy. If you are interested in applying\, you will need to submit 10 pages of a script. The submission deadline is 1/31/18. I will select 4 submissions out of everyone that submits and announce these slots in February. The rate for Level 3 is $3\,000.00. \n  \nThe DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS is January 31\, 2018 at 3:00 p.m. PST. \n  \nLEVEL 4 \nAt Level 4\, you will receive written/verbal notes back every week on your scripts. This includes an in person or online meeting every week either alongside the teleseminar or as you prefer. You will receive a recording of the classes. You will have an opportunity to sign up to pitch two times to my weekly guest speakers. You get to be part of a private Facebook community. \nThere are only 4 slots available at this level. \n \n  \n  \n  \nASSIGNMENTS \nThe Level #3 writing assignments will be due the Saturday before each class. Everyone at each level will receive a copy of the assignments turned in by the Level #3 writers so that they may follow along as well as provide notes directly to the Level#3 writer. \n  \nLevels #1 and #2\, you will do the assignments on your own.
