How to write for television: a tutorial

PRINT| E-MAIL|MORE
lost castHere's a fun read. A Blogspot website called 'How to Write Screenplays. Badly.' has a humorous posting about writing for "the younger retarded sister" of the movie business. That's television, people. Writer Jeremy Slater suggests writing (or Googling) 'spec' scripts and sending them to the executive producers, even if you've never seen the show. Because they love that. Slater even writes up examples of spec scripts for Two and a Half Men, Veronica Mars, and a hilarious series finale script for Lost (complete with Sawyer rubbing his chest in front of a mirror "that came from somewhere").
