Next Event Announced | TV Writer's Workshop March 15

We’re excited to announce the lineup for our next event. TV writers of varied levels and backgrounds will share their experiences. Learn about networking and creating relationships, environmental and financial differences between network, cable, and streaming platforms, developing projects, and how writers can market and define themselves in the current climate.

After the overwhelmingly positive response to our first event, we secured a larger location to accommodate more attendees. We’re proud to partner with Blackbird House to host our next workshop. Networking mixer to follow event.
