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.
Students are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity. All work submitted must be original and properly cited. Plagiarism, cheating, or any form of academic dishonesty will result in immediate consequences as outlined in the university's academic integrity policy.
