The Non-User-Friendly Guide For Aspiring TV Writers: Experience and Advice From the Trenches (Million Dollar Writing Series)

A veteran writer presents his personal account of being in the trenches of the television industry, offering advice and tactics for aspiring scriptwriters. Steven L. Sears has had a successful career in film and television encompassing over thirty years of involvement at all levels. From his beginnings as a staff writer on the hit NBC show The A-Team, to Co-Executive Producer on the hit series Xena-Warrior Princess for MCA/Universal, creator and Executive Producer of Sheena for Sony/TriStar Television, and many pilot and development deals with the major studios and production companies, he has amassed a huge amount of experience and knowledge about the inner workings of the entertainment industry. In The Non-User-Friendly Guide for Aspiring Television Writers, he shares that experience and gives advice for those considering a career in television writing. Instead of the traditional academic and sterile approach, Steven answers questions from a personal, first person perspective. The questions have been culled from the real world, people seeking out his advice and looking for the experience that most books don’t have. Some of what he writes about are hard and difficult facts to accept about the business. Other times it’s his opinion based on his vast experience. But all of it is unsweetened and direct. Even if you don’t like his answers, he will certainly make you think hard about your approach and choices when pursuing a career in an extremely difficult industry. As a result, you will be better prepared to achieve the success that he has had. Accessible, personable, and relaxed, “It’s like having lunch with Steven and asking him questions about the business. Without having to watch him eat.”
