Writing for the Stage and Screen — Creating the Series: Television & Episodic Writing is a hands-on introduction to writing for television and episodic storytelling. Students develop an original television series concept from initial idea to a workshop-ready pilot script and series bible. The course explores how episodic stories function, how writers’ rooms operate, and what makes compelling characters, conflict, and sustainable long-form narrative engines. Through writing exercises, television show analysis, workshops, and collaborative discussions, students gain practical experience crafting stories designed for serialized content.
