In this Film Courage video interview, Career Coach and Author Carole Kirschner explains when executives hire writers, it can be for various reasons. If someone pitches a show and impresses someone from the network with their presentation, the executive will likely want to work with them. When executives are tasked with finding writers for a TV show, they want to ensure that the writer is not difficult to work with and that their skills align with the show's needs. To be hired, writers should focus on key elements during pitches, such as compelling characters and their growth, a strong hook that sets the show apart, an emotional connection to the project, vividly describing the world of the show, and demonstrating a clear understanding of the series' potential beyond the pilot. Pitches should be rehearsed, timed appropriately, and sound conversational to engage the executives. Common mistakes to avoid include being unprepared, excessively detailing the pilot story, and focusing solely on selling rather than telling a captivating story.
Carole Kirschner spent fifteen years as a television development executive. A former Vice
President of Television for Steven Spielberg's first Amblin Entertainment and a Comedy
Development exec at CBS, she’s had the privilege of working with some of the most
respected writers in the industry.
Switching to the other side of the desk she became a consultant and created and runs
the CBS/Paramount Writers Mentoring Program, which has helped launch the careers of
more than eighty television writers of color, including 14 showrunners. Because of her
work with CBS she was asked to help writer/producer Jeff Melvoin as he developed the
curriculum for the WGA Showrunner Training Program and as the Director has been
running the Program for 18 years.
Ms. Kirschner, through her career coaching practice, Carole Kirschner Entertainment
Career Strategies (carolekirschner dot com) works primarily with screenwriters who are
stuck or need help navigating the political landscape. She recently launched the
successful online course, “How to Pitch a TV Show That Sells” and is gearing up for her
new online course, “Get the F Unstuck: Break Through and Create Your Ideal
Hollywood Career” in late spring. She is also an international speaker and her book,
Hollywood Game Plan: How to Land a Job in Film, TV and Digital Entertainment is
taught in colleges across the country.
