Event Description

What are some tips and tricks for pitching your TV series? What's it really like to be the showrunner of a hit show? How do you take over as showrunner for an already established show? How do you work your way up the ranks of the writers room? Showrunner Angela Kang will answer these questions and many more during this virtual workshop! She'll talk about working up the ranks from an intern on "Grey's Anatomy" to staff writer on FX's "Terriers" and all of her jobs on "The Walking Dead" from staff writer, to story editor, to producer and finally showrunner. Plus, Angela will provide feedback on several written elevator pitches submitted by attendees. A few will be chosen for the live critique so that all attendees can learn from the feedback. After you register, your confirmation email will have a link for submitting your elevator pitch (it will be at the bottom of the email under "Additional Information"). The deadline to submit is noon Eastern on Wednesday, June 9. You do NOT need to submit an elevator pitch to attend; you're welcome to come and learn from other examples! We will email all attendees a link to the Zoom webinar on the day of the event.
