Script Writting

Facebook Twitter

TV Writing. This site will be of plenty of interest to TV fans, but fundamentally it's for people who want to take their love of TV and transform it into something more practical: actually creating telly that people want to see. These scripts are here because the only way to learn how to write a TV script is to read A LOT of other TV scripts, and there aren't many places you can do that. So here you can study scripts for existing shows, some of your old favourites, and many that never even made it to air. Figure out what makes an episode work, how to format that spec, why a pilot failed and how to write in four, five or six acts. And when you've figured it all out and got your show on air - send me your scripts! Help keep this site updated I love running this site and sharing the scripts I obtain with other writers and fans.
