presented in partnership with
Some of the best advice I ever received is: If you want to be a writer, make friends with a writer. But it can be hard to meet writers if you have no experience or connections. That’s why ITC is partnering with NBCUniversal Launch for an exclusive event on October 3rd to foster relationships between aspiring diverse creatives and working writers. Selected participants will attend an intimate panel and mixer with writers, showrunners, and other alumni from NBCU Launch’s TV Writing Fellowship to learn, connect, and build community. This is a free event, but space is limited. You must apply with with a original pilot writing sample and short bio to be invited to attend. This event is strictly for folks who have never been staffed on a TV show previously.
Application are open until September 1.
