Warner Bros Writers’ Workshop

Submit your TV specs to our friends at the Warner Bros Writers’ Workshop.  
To apply submit a half-hour or hour writing sample based on a primetime 
network or cable series that aired new episodes during the 2009-2010 
television season.  Submissions are being accepted now through June 1, 2010.  

Find all the details at:  
http://writersworkshop.warnerbros.com/

The Warner Bros. Television Writers’ Workshop consists of three components 
all geared towards preparing the writer for a successful career in television 
writing.

Lectures: Weekly lectures feature guest speakers currently working in television 
and include a mix of showrunners, directors, actors and agents. Each seminar will 
teach a new skill essential for surviving and excelling in a writers’ room as a 
staff writer and beyond. 

Simulated Writers’ Room: After the lectures, the Workshop participants are 
divided into smaller groups for an intensive writing experience. Each participant 
will be required to complete a new spec script under the same deadlines found on a 
show currently in production. How participants perform during this exercise will 
determine whether they will be chosen for a possible staffing position on a 
Warner Bros. show. Yes, the stakes are that high! 

Staffing: Upon completion of the program, Studio executives will help participants, 
who pass the Writers' Room, obtain a staff position on a Warner Bros. television 
show currently in production. We can’t guarantee you will get staffed, but we will 
get your material in front of the people who make the ultimate decisions 
– the showrunners. 

The 2010–2011 Warner Bros. Television Writers’ Workshop will run October 2010–March 2011, 
with meetings on the Warner Bros. lot in Los Angeles, California, every Wednesday 
evening from 7 p.m.–10 p.m. Full participation is mandatory.

Before you submit you can also get your TV specs covered at ScriptPipeline.  
They have a 2 - 5 day turnaround and can give you great insights into taking 
your TV spec to the next level.
