sw-writers-room

How episodic television actually gets made by a group (编剧室与制作现实) — merged from Goldberg & Rabkin (pitch as audition, leave-behind, cracking the story, beat sheet, notes discipline, production rewrites), Pamela Douglas (John Wells's room, staff-from-hell mistakes, the seven-rung ladder, step deal, the 14-day draft), Neil Landau's showrunner interviews (Lindelof, Mazzara, Katims, Bays), Evan Smith on sitcom staffing and roundtables, Richard Blum (dated), Kam Miller, and first-hand accounts by David Chase, Jesse Armstrong, Lucy Prebble, Aaron Sorkin, Julian Fellowes and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Use when joining or running a writers' room, breaking an episode with a group, writing a leave-behind, beat sheet or outline on deadline, pitching episode ideas to an existing series, writing a spec episode, taking or giving notes, rewriting because of money, actors or locations, choosing between a staffed room and a single-author process, or asking 什么是 showrunner／编剧室怎么运作／怎么接 note.
