Pilot Writing Level 1 is an online writing class to help navigate the sometimes intimidating world of TV pilots & pitches! So many of us want to learn solid TV writing skills, or refresh our old skills, but where do we start? Do you have a logline for a pilot? Or maybe you have a funny character? Or even just a title? Well, that’s enough to get started writing your next (first?) pilot. First, we’ll explore how to turn a premise and into a full-fledged TV pitch. From there, we’ll learn the building blocks of writing your pilot. The hardest part of writing is the work you put in before you actually start writing, but with the right tools, it can be a whole lot easier!

By the time you leave this class you’ll understand best practices for turning your unique idea into a TV pitch + script, you’ll have a rock-solid functional pilot outline, and maybe even a first draft. People from all over can now take our online writing class! Join us and make new friends

This online writing class is 8 weeks long and does not have a class show.
