Studios ARE buying. I spoke with a writer friend who sold her first TV show in December of 2024. According to every newspaper and every industry happy hour anyone went to, that was allegedly impossible. EXCEPT SHE DID IT. It gets better: my executive friend at a premium streamer has SIX shows going in 2025. She only had ONE going in 2024.

Yes, the industry is going through a major and painful transition. And guess what? There are still TV shows on the air. Studios and networks are looking for the cheapest and most efficient ways to keep going - and that can mean first-time creators (cheap) paired with experienced show runners (efficient).

So if this is a dream you have that you want to see through, this is the time to learn how to make it happen.

You’ll learn how to get an experienced TV professional on board. I helped a lawyer friend sell his TV drama, and (on top of getting an executive producing credit!) he said the process made him better at pitching ideas at work.

I helped my super-successful entrepreneur friend craft a pitch and write a pilot script, and he said it’s the most alive and excited he felt in years.

Doing work that’s authentic to you makes your life richer, and attracts more of the experiences that make life worth living. It’s pretty great.

I’ve help students sell to Netflix and Paramount, and get meetings with top showrunners. Take a look at my testimonials.

When you comment on a lesson, you’ll get a response in less that 24 hours, Mon-Fri.

Want live feedback? Once you’ve purchased the course, you get access to my quarterly co-working calls, and the option to upgrade to quarterly coaching calls as well. The next coaching call is Monday, March 3rd at 5 pm PT/8 pm ET. These are available ONLY to students and alums.

There are 11 modules, and the course is designed to take about 12 weeks. Each module has 30-60 minutes of videos, and a playbook for you to write in, and templates you can use as you craft your pitch.

You can move fast and watch all the videos at once. But completing the playbooks and crafting their first undeniable pitch takes most people between 2 and 6 months.
