All of this was so relevant for the serialized episode scripts I’ve been writing! That last section on structure helped me confirm how crucial it is right now for me to keep the storylines crossing without leaving a character an island. Excellent interview!

I like that her experience in the writer's room was similar to mine, albeit mine was on an animated series. I was a relatively new writer at the time and they paired me with a more experienced writer. The experienced writer wrote a one paragraph story outline, and then I wrote the script based on that outline. That one paragraph was the extent of the involvement by the experienced writer. He never looked at my scripts, he never changed anything. I wrote 10 scripts, 8 of which were produced and 2 that were saved for the next season, which never happened. And it was the same for the other writers in the room. We were all fairly inexperienced, so we were all given one paragraph outlines by experienced writers, who were not in our writer's room. Maybe they had their own during development when they came up with these episode ideas. Anyway, I love writer's rooms. The outpouring of ideas and bouncing ideas back and forth is incredibly fun.

'Frankenstein' Draft is exactly what I was thinking as NL described the episode-by-committee format ('Frankenstein Monster' Draft for those E. Lit. grads out there). Terrific interview, thanks!

I've actually been listening ti Niceole's audiobook and its an informative explanation of the writers room model. I just wonder if it's a model that's going to survive this strike and the transition to the streaming era. Seems like executives aren't keen on hiring 10 different creative voices for shorter and shorter seasons.

Awesome interview. Would like an interview with someone who has pitched a show to netflix.

Here are a couple - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qH-7eJuLmK90qNk & kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2OYk56khLGFeZI We admit, these won't be exactly what you are looking for. But they do provide insight as to how Netflix works.

Do all shows have writing rooms? Does it never happen where a screenwriter just comes to the producers with a full pre-written season? And what happens if the show is based on an existing novel? I would think there wouldn't be much use in a writing room if it's a one-to-one adaptation...

[@nextinstitute7824]

This kills all the romance. It seems quite shallow. No wonder many of the current shows look alike...

[@Thenoobestgirl]

How so?
