In this episode, producer and former Warner Brothers Discovery Access executive Elly Lachman gives us an inside look at writing fellowships. She offers tips on writing your spec and getting it read, what programs are looking for in an essay, how screenwriters can seek guidance from past alumni during the upcoming application season, and more!

Authentic Storytelling is a 6-week course led by both Elly and a seasoned TV writer/workshop alum/artist educator that will get you from concept to pilot draft with a focus on writing a piece that is honest, brave, and most importantly authentic to YOU - because that, in the end, is what matters infinitely more than the mercurial tastes of the industry(especially right now!). Comprised of lectures, guest speakers, guidance through your story documents, notes/feedback in a simulated writers room, and 1:1 consultation, our aim is to be steadfast shepherds of your process to finding and utilizing your unique voice - because it is the most valuable asset you have as a storyteller.For more information or to sign up, please email [email protected]!
