15-Week Online Television Rewrite Workshop

Develop and Revise a Spec Script at NYFA

Television series are not developed in a vacuum. Writers work with studios, producers or networks to develop a series together. And central to this process is television script revising — the ability to rewrite and reconceive a series and its pilot.

In this 15-Week Online Television Rewrite Workshop, students learn the basic tools of rewriting a TV pilot teleplay, such as taking notes, finding their original intent and working with producers, directors and development execs. To attend, students must have completed our 15-Week Online Television Pilot Workshop or submit a complete, properly formatted television pilot script and series proposal.

Workshop DescriptionWorkshop Name: 15-Week Online Television Rewrite Workshop

Prerequisite: 15-Week Online Television Pilot Workshop (or submission of a complete, properly formatted television pilot script and series proposal.)

In this workshop, students start with a completed teleplay for an original pilot and a proposal for that series — such as the one written in our online Television Pilot Workshop. Notes and suggestions from the instructor and class will be combined with notes received previously on this project and planned changes to build a new version of the series proposal and a rewrite blueprint for the pilot script.

Once a plan for the rewrite is created, students rewrite the pilot script, adjusting their blueprint and proposal as they go to reflect the lessons they’ve learned along the way.

At the end of the class, students will have completed a rewrite of their script and have a new version of the series proposal. To learn more about NYFA’s screenwriting workshops, see NYFA’s Course Catalog or request more information.
