Ready to make writing a TV Pilot your b**ch?


Hey Reader,

If you’ve been circling the same idea for months (cough, years) watching other writers move forward, while you restart your outline for the fourth time, you’re not alone.

I know so many early-career writers who are dedicated, passionate and talented but also stuck. Not because they don’t have what it takes, but because nobody ever gave them a clear, complete path from idea to finished draft, that actually works for them.

Screenwriting is this oddball marriage of intuition and creativity with structural story engineering. Left and Right brain, at the same time. It's a gargantuan undertaking with so many steps and micro-decisions, how do you even know where to start? How do you know when you're finished??

If you're on my mailing list, you’ve probably tried to piece it together yourself, already. You've bought the books, taken a class that got you to a beat sheet and then left you hanging, googled your way through structure questions at 11pm. Or you started a draft, felt it falling apart, and quietly put it away and pretended it didn’t exist.

You told yourself you’d come back to it. You haven’t yet.

Maybe you’ve even taken a class with me, but it was only one piece of the larger puzzle and you still didn't know how to integrate what you've learned. I'm fixing that now.

In TV Camp, my 12-week pilot writing program, I’ll walk you through the entire process from premise to revision with one consistent roadmap, one instructor, and real feedback at every step of the process. No more patching together advice from five different sources. No more starting over because a new instructors sent you back to square one. In 12 weeks, you’ll discover and build a writing process around how your brain works, learn how TV works inside and out, and build a portfolio-worthy pilot around your unique voice and goals.

Imagine sitting down to write knowing exactly where you’re headed, with a story you believe in, an beat sheet that makes sense, and a draft that feels like your voice.

The Waitlist Presale Starts May 25th — and it’s the best price you’ll get at a waitlist exclusive discount. Waitlisters save over $100 on the Staff Writer tier and over $200 on Producer-Level tiers.

You’ll also unlock a full bonus suite including the SOS Workbook for Writer’s Block, Beat Bootcamp course access, Genre playbooks, guest speaker sessions, and the SBA Notion Hub, just to name a few.
