Gotham Writers Workshop “TV Writing”

Published: May 4, 2023; Aithor: Julia Sonrisa

In this introductory writing workshop, you’ll dive into the specific craft demands of scripted, episodic TV. Maybe you’re a fan of prestige dramas, or perhaps sitcoms are more your style — either way, experienced TV writer and Gotham Writers Workshop instructor, Miriam Datskovsky, will lead you through some freewriting and some craft lectures to get you started on your script.

• This is a free in-store event with limited amphitheater-style seating
• We encourage all guests to wear masks.
