I just cross-posted yesterday’s thoughts about writing miniseries on spec on the SCRIPT MAGAZINE website, where they asked me to contribute posts on a regular basis. There are a lot of other experts, writers and consultants posting tips there, so you might be interested in checking it out: http://www.scriptmag.com/category/features/craft-features/.
I’m a screenwriter 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 as part of the producing team. I’ve also sold series pitches (and written pilots) at NBC and FOX, worked on the writing staff for two primetime dramas, and written feature screenplays on assignment for companies like Universal, HBO, TNT, and Playtone. My book THE IDEA: The Seven Elements of a Viable Story for Screen, Stage, or Fiction was released in 2018. Click here to e-mail me.
