If you want to write for TV, then you have to work well in a writers' room. In addition to having killer samples, you have to be able to work with other writers to build on their ideas. You need to be able to collaborate, pitch ideas, take notes quickly, and revise, revise, revise. There's a lot more to being a staff writer than meets the eye, and one of the best ways to see your own show on air is to establish yourself as a good staff writer.
But how do you develop those skills? How do you collaborate within the hierarchy of the room? And what is really expected of a staff writer day-to-day?
Roadmap has put together this special 12 session course to teach you everything you need to know to kill it in your first staffed position over the course of 6 weeks!
Writers will walk away from this course with a first draft of a pilot sample .
This 12 Session Course Will Cover:
- Story documents
- Outlining
- Drafting and revising
- The etiquette and rules of the room
Ashley Victoria Hudson grew up in Monticello, MS, and graduated from William Carey University and The University of Mississippi School of Law. Upon graduating from law school, she moved to California to attend Chapman University where she obtained an LL.M in Entertainment Law.
Before transitioning to a full-time writer, Ashley worked in the legal department of various companies, such as Lionsgate Entertainment, Creative Artists Agency, and Columbia Pictures (Sony Entertainment). Currently, Ashley is staffed on the Power spinoff POWER BOOK II: GHOST and aspires to become a Showrunner, but ultimately, Ashley wants to shape the way television is viewed, not just as a writer, but as a generational defining artist.
At their core, Ashley's character-driven dramas (no matter the genre) are authentic portraits of the human experience, set in the world of law, politics, or sports that are gritty and deep-rooted in family trauma. When Ashley is not writing, she enjoys pretending to be on a diet so she can fit into a wedding dress for her upcoming nuptials.
