Write to TV, 3rd Edition

4 Getting your Scripts Read

“Write stuff. That’s really the secret. And make your stuff so good that as soon as someone reads it they say, ‘I want to give this person a job.’ And the only way to get your script to be that good is to keep writing stuff, watching stuff and reading stuff, and taking note of what you like and don’t like, what’s working for you and what’s not working for you, and then hold yourself to the same rigorous standard. And share your stuff with other people and see what’s working for them and what’s not working for them. Your script needs to communicate what’s special about it, and if it’s not, then you need to keep working on it.” — Emmy nominee Raphael Bob-Waksberg, creator BoJack Horseman, Undone
