‘Six Months Episodic TV Writing’

Delivered over 6 months, this totally online ‘Practical Episodic TV Writing’ course will give you all the tools you need to write the TV pilot that you have been planning.

In the early sessions we cover the theory of storytelling, character, TV structure and dialogue then go on to put an emphasis on practical writing and collaboration by workshopping character and voices with professional actors, visual storytelling techniques with a professional director, and finishing with a pitch to a panel of professional producers.

Through regular 1-2-1 script editing tutorials with a professional script editor across the course, peer-to-peer feedback, and a time frame that allows for the process of meaningful rewriting, we aim to finish the course with a polished script and supporting materials to go out to the industry with and launch your career. 



OUR STUDENTS SAY:

“It made me fall in love with storytelling all over again. The course is so well defined. Timur is an incredible teacher who nurtures your idea with enthusiasm and wisdom of someone who knows the industry and craft inside out, and is generous with that knowledge. Without a doubt, one of the best things I’ve ever done. It’s opened new doors for me and through it, met the best people.”

- Maxine

“Working with Timur has been one of the best things I have ever done! I’ve left both courses feeling ten times more inspired than I did when I started.  I learnt more from Timur in one three hour class than I did over an entire three year degree in Creative Writing (at one of the best universities for it).”

- Morag 

“Timur’s courses have been a transformative experience. I started with the intro course and loved it so much that I signed up for the six-month episodic one afterwards. Timur is a very knowledgeable and skilled teacher. I learned so much from doing these courses. I had all these stories in my head but lacked the tools to turn them into concrete scripts. Having clear guidelines and deadlines was essential in making my writing happen. To anyone aspiring to be a screenwriter, these courses are for you!”

- Juliette

“Timur's teaching is expert, energising, engaging and demanding in the most constructive way. Being part of a small, committed student group for six months offers a wonderful sense of camaraderie and accountability, as you take up the mantle, alongside each other's own hero's journey. Under Timur's guidance you'll work smart and with confidence that you're on the most direct, grounded route to being the best screenwriter you can be.”

- Tom

“These 6 months have been incredible-  1000% the best investment I've made in my writing in... well ...ever actually!!!  It made a seemingly complicated and daunting process a whole lot clearer and manageable. I'm super excited about my project and for future ones.”

- Rachel

  • "It’s one of the best investments I have ever made in myself - I have met some incredible talent over the past six months, made new friends and invaluable industry contacts!” 

- Alison

“I loved this course, I was stuck in wtf am I doing with my idea to being steered on a clear path to write and rewrite and create something with direction that I like again while at the same time figuring out how the industry works and how to get into it.”

- Suzie

“Having completed both the introduction to screenwriting course and the six month episodic TV writing course, I can say that I highly recommend them to anyone with an idea they would like to develop but don’t know where or how to start. Timur is a greatly supportive teacher with a superb course structure that will take you back to the basics and ask you the important questions in order to get the best out of your work.“

- Patricia 

"It's a fantastic course! I have had a lot of fun and met some great people. Timur is an amazing teacher and teaches you practical skills that give you the confidence to believe that a career in screenwriting is actually possible.”
