Writer’s Lab with Call to Adventure Media 

seriesfest · May 13, 2021 ·

This is Your Call to Adventure!

SeriesFest has partnered with Call To Adventure Media on an exciting professional development program for emerging writers wanting to work in episodic storytelling. Selected writers will participate in a three-day in-person lab aimed at honing their pilot script and getting it pitch-ready.

Over the course of three days, Call To Adventure Media works with the selected Writer on their series bible, pilot outline, and character and story arc. Writer’s Lab Mentors include television professionals who work closely with the writer to support and guide the collaborative lab process.

In the two months following the workshop, Call to Adventure Media will schedule two follow-up notes sessions with the writer to revise the pilot with the goal of moving the project – and the writer’s career – forward.
