TV Writing Tool Kit - 2nd Edition: How To Write A Script That Sells

by Jen Grisanti

TV WRITING TOOL KIT 2nd Edition - is an update of my latest story tools, breakdowns, and handouts. The book covers story structure for a TV pilot and spec script, logline formulas for Logline For Your Life and your story, and character. With character, the book goes into the wound and the flaw. I cover everything that I teach in Writers on the Verge at NBC. There are breakdowns for several shows, including - THE GOOD WIFE, MODERN FAMILY, THE NIGHT MANAGER, HOMELAND, FLEABAG, and DEAD TO ME. The book also explores staffing and development. You will find formulas for a pitch document and a TV bible formula.

Aaron Spelling was my mentor for 12 years. While I worked with him, I learned the art of doing show breakdowns. As a former 12-year studio executive, I covered shows including - NUMBERS, MEDIUM, NCIS, THE 4400, GIRLFRIENDS, BEVERLY HILLS, 90210, MELROSE PLACE, and CHARMED.

this book was for a class and gave a wealth of information for said class, but could’ve been condensed so, so much. entire paragraphs were repeated and i felt like i was reading the same idea over and over again.
