Description

What does it take to go from being a fan to professional television writer? For the first time outside of the UCLA Extension Writers’ Programme classrooms, TV writers whose many produced credits include The Simpsons, House M.D., and Pretty Little Liars take aspiring writers through the process of writing their first spec script for an on-air series, creating one-hour drama and sitcom pilots that break out from the pack, and revising scripts to meet pro standards. Learn how to launch and sustain a writing career and get a rare, intimate look inside the yearlong process of creating, selling, and getting a TV show made. Edited by writers’ program director Linda Venis, Inside the Room is the ultimate guide to writing one’s way into the Writers Guild of America. “Venis corrals an accessible and useful guide for anyone with the dream and the drive who needs to know, practically, what to do. An engaging and helpful how-to for hopeful TV writers or anyone interested in the nuts and bolts of this ephemeral art.” – Kirkus ReviewsOver the past two decades, Linda Venis has guided the growth of the UCLA Extension Writers’ Programme into the nation’s largest creative writing and screenwriting program. She lives in Los Angeles, California, with her husband and their daughter.US
