Find out what it's like to work in a real TV writers' room, guided by a professional television writer who's staffed on BLINDSPOT, CASTLE, CSI: CYBER, NCIS: NOLA, and the TBS one-hour series, OBLITERATED. 

TV writers create pilots by themselves or with a partner, but when it's time to build a writers' room or be staffed on a TV show in the writers' room, you need to know how to write with an entire team. Wouldn't it be great if you could learn exactly what it's like to be in a professional TV writers' before you get staffed?

Start preparing to work in a real writer's room today in this immersive, eight-week virtual workshop with a professional television writer who has over a decade of experience. This mock TV drama writers’ room is hosted exclusively through Stage 32. 

You’ll learn how to be a collaborative member of a writers’ room, how to be creatively flexible, how to effectively pitch to the room, and how to properly defend your ideas. And you’ll do all of this in a supportive space, building connections with other writers, all under the expert guidance of world-class TV writer Kate Sargeant.

Kate is an accomplished television writer who has worked on over 100 episodes of network TV shows including CASTLE, SCI: CYBER, NCIS: NOLA, and BLINDSPOT. Most recently, Kate served as a supervising producer on OBLITERATED, a one-hour drama for TBS.

Over eight weeks, Kate will guide you and a handful of other passionate and driven writers in an interactive forum through the process of breaking an episode of BLINDSPOT, including A, B, and C storylines. She’ll show you how to get your ideas on the board, how the different roles in the room work together, and you'll work to break the story of an actual episode. You'll also get to pitch your own episode idea to Kate who will act as the showrunner.

Through Kate’s lessons and guidance in the mock TV writers’ room, you will gain direct, practical, and invaluable real-world experience that you can apply to your television writing career.
