The success of shows like CBS’s NCIS and THE EQUALIZER, FOX’s 9-1-1, and NBC’s CHICAGO P.D., CHICAGO FIRE, and CHICAGO MED demonstrate just how wildly successful network dramas continue to be. If you’re looking for a long-running and lucrative TV writing career, network dramas could be a powerful opportunity. Now it’s just a matter of breaking in.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 18px;\"\u003eThe opportunities are plentiful and the prospects have never been more exciting, but if you want to write for network television you need to prove that you have the chops, and this means more than just writing \u003c\/span\u003ea pilot script by yourself; it means that you can excel in a writers’ room, breaking story with the showrunner and fellow staff writers. TV story breaking is a wholly different process than solo writing and requires a separate skill set. It’s more collaborative, it’s more flexible, and it requires the ability to pitch and defend your ideas. The ability to thrive in a television writers’ room can allow you to find real longevity in your writing career and give you the opportunity to contribute to a lot of exciting new shows coming out of this gold rush.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eKate Sargeant is an accomplished television writer with especially deep experience in network procedural dramas, working on over 100 episodes of network TV on shows like CASTLE, CSI: CYBER, NCIS: NOLA and BLINDSPOT. Most recently, Kate served as a Supervising Producer on a one-hour drama for NETFLIX entitled OBLITERATED. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOver the course of this intimate eight-week interactive virtual lab, Kate will delve into the craft of the network procedural hour drama and then lead you through a mock CSI: CYBER writers' room, where you will gain experience pitching A, B and C story ideas, breaking the episode on a virtual whiteboard as a group, and then practice pitching acts to the showrunner. What better way to learn than to break the PILOT of a new CSI spinoff? Not only will you experience what it’s like to work in a writers’ room – you will also have hands-on experience breaking the pilot of a TV show. Through both Kate’s lessons and her leading of the writers’ room, you will gain direct, practical and real-world experience that you can take with you as you pursue your own television career.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePraise for Kate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"color: #323232; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(49, 236, 227); font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"What a unique and rewarding experience to live the life of a writer on a show.
