Every television show has an engine; the consistent heartbeat of story that brings the narrative pieces together to make a series run smoothly, episode to episode and season to season.

But what does that mean practically for writers? How do you build an engine so it works flawlessly? And then, how do you pitch it on the page so simply that anyone from another writer to a producer to an executive can understand it clearly?

That’s what this class is about.

The TV bible is the script for your series pitch. Bibles range in size and shape, but one thing is the same. It will be the answer to this question:

How does your TV show work?

You’re going to learn how to define and execute the different pieces of narrative engine for a television series. And while that may sound academic and kinda daunting, after this class, you’ll walk away with simple, practical, and effective tools to use to break down existing shows, and to write the Bible script for your own.

Get ready to work with Merridith Allen, an instructor who has helped hundreds artists craft their show ideas—from emerging writers to staff writers, producers, and feature writers breaking into TV.

After this class, you’ll be next on the list!
