The Executive Chair: A Writer's Guide to TV Series Development

To make compelling television, our industry depends on enthusiastic new
voices with fresh ideas. While there are plenty of books about the
mechanics of writing, this is the first time an insider has detailed the
invaluable TV executive perspective.
As key pieces of the entertainment puzzle, executives hold institutional
wisdom that seldom gets disseminated outside network walls. The
Executive Chair breaks down the business from the gatekeeper's point of
view, illuminating the creative process used by those who ultimately
make the decisions.
Whether developing a project for the entertainment marketplace or merely
probing the executive mindset, The Executive Chair dispels myths about
the creative process and takes the reader through the development of a
pilot script.
