T.V. Staff Writing Workshop

May 14, 2009 by Erik

This event is put on by Scriptwriters Network, on June 20, 2009 at CBS Radford Studios. I’ll be acting as a “showrunner” helping attendees craft a pitch for a new drama series in a limited amount of time, as an exercise on “working in the room” on a television staff.

Should be fun!

Hi Erik,

I took your class on Saturday and had a great time! It was a wonderful learning experience. I’ve taken many writing classes before, but never really understood what it’s like to work with others, bounce ideas off of one another and learn what “Staff writing” really means. Thanks again for everything!

About me

I’m a professional screenwriter and producer best known for my work on the HBO miniseries BAND OF BROTHERS and FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON, for which I wrote multiple episodes, and won two Emmy and two Golden Globe Awards for helping to produce.

I’ve also sold a variety of drama series pitches to the big four networks, and am currently developing a comedy pilot with one of the studios. I've worked on the writing staff for two primetime dramas, and written feature screenplays on assignment for companies like Universal, HBO, TNT, and Playtone.

I got my start as an assistant to Tom Hanks, who gave me the opportunity to help him write and produce FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON, after reading some sitcom spec scripts I had written.

I’m currently represented by Creative Artists Agency.
