Episode 38: Learning to Write by Watching TV




Writers' League of Texas Podcast show

Summary: For writers, television usually gets lumped in with social media in the list of wastes of time. But probably every writer you know watches television, in part because we’re living in a golden age of programming and because so many shows are based on novels (Game of Thrones, Handmaid’s Tale, Pretty Little Liars, Outlander, Big Little Lies, Orange Is the New Black). And, it’s always been the case that some writers move back and forth between working on books and scripts. Join Samantha M. Clark, Eugene Fischer, and Scott Von Doviak as they talk about the inspiration and mechanics that can be borrowed from TV for use on the page.
