Thoughts on the professional screenwriting life by Erik Bork

Erik | October 11, 2009

I’ll be doing three seminars at this year’s event on Friday, October 16 at the Wilshire Grand Hotel in L.A.: “Addressing Others’ Input on Your Work to Move Your Career Forward,” “Finding and Writing the ‘Story’ in True Stories,” and “Creating and Pitching Series Ideas for Television”…
Here are the details…

Southern CA Writers Conference

Erik | August 3, 2009

I’ll be presenting at this year’s event in Irvine, on September 25 and 26, and I’ll also be offering consultation on writing submissions there.  

T.V. Staff Writing Workshop

Erik | May 14, 2009

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!
