It’s fellowship season again, a time when legions of aspiring TV Writers battle for a coveted spot in the Writer’s Rooms of ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox on the hottest new shows. Unfortunately the process is grueling (application, resume, personal statement, spec and original material samples, references, multiple elimination rounds, and endless interviews) and only a fraction of a percent are selected. What you need is your own personal Yoda to help you train.

In this two-week Online TV Writers Fellowship Bootcamp, Paola Limon (Disney & NHMC Fellow, Home Economics) takes you through the process, finding your compelling personal story, and prepping you for the most grueling interviews of your life. By the end of the class, you will be ready to present the best you to the selection committee and break through the sound barrier. Fellowship spot not included.

After studying with us, our alums have landed 409 staff writing positions on shows including FARGO, PERRY MASON, AMERICAN BORN CHINESE, THE BROTHERS SUN, FRASIER and DAVE and won 185 fellowships/staffing program spots at organizations including Disney, NBCU, WB, Paramount & Disruptors.
