53 - A TV Writing Q&A

This week Mary interviews Melissa on writing for television. We're going to dig into some of the basics and answer some questions on structure and format. Where do we start? How do we know if we're doing it right? When do I invest in a course or coach? Do I need to move to L.A.? *Note this episode was pre-recorded.   Recommended Resources Scriptnotes Podcast https://johnaugust.com/scriptnotes   Children of Tendu Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/children-of-tendu/id833831151   LA TV Writers Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/latvwriters/   Trying to find TV Scripts from your favorite shows?
