SUMMARY:TV Writing II: The Outline Is Your Map with Brian Bradley (VIRTUAL)
DESCRIPTION:TV Writing II: The Outline Is Your Map builds on the foundational work completed in TV Writing I\, guiding students through the next critical stage of series development: outlining. Using the logline\, Story Circle breakdown\, and character work developed in the previous course\, students will refine their pilot stories\, learning how to weave multiple storylines\, manage exposition\, and create compelling narrative flow that keeps both readers and viewers engaged. \nThe course explores the differences between half-hour and one-hour formats\, teaching students how to apply professional industry standards to both three-act and six-act structures while continuing to use the Story Circle as a flexible structural tool. Deeper instruction is provided on advanced topics such as character complexity\, world-building\, tone\, and pacing — all essential elements in developing a strong and sustainable TV series. \nThroughout the course\, students will also learn current industry expectations for proper formatting of television scripts\, ensuring their work is professional and market-ready. By the end of the class\, each student will complete a full\, detailed scene-by-scene outline — a comprehensive map that will serve as the blueprint for scripting their pilot in the next phase of development. \nThis course is ideal for students serious about building a professionally viable pilot script and understanding the real-world development process used by working television writers. \nPlease note: Students will complete graded assignments\, writing exercises\, and receive regular feedback. As a working showrunner and television writer\, your instructor brings extensive industry experience directly into the classroom. \nWHAT YOU WILL WALK AWAY WITH:  \n\nA fully refined pilot story structure\nA complete scene-by-scene outline for your original pilot\nAn understanding of both half-hour and one-hour structural formats\nAdvanced instruction on character\, world-building\, tone\, and pacing\nProfessional formatting knowledge to prepare for scripting\n\nCourse Note: Prerequisite: TV Writing I: Pre-Writing\, Story\, and Building the Puzzle or equivalent experience+.\n+Equivalency requirement: email at least two writing samples to professionaleducation@trilithinsitute.org at least 5 business days prior to the start of class (subject: TV Writing II Equivalency) \nThis course is the second in a 3-part Series.\nThe NEXT course in the sequence is\n\nTV Writing III (15 Weeks; VIRTUAL) – Spring 2026: August 10-November 23\, 2026\n\nThe PREREQUISTES for this course are: TV Writing I: Pre-Writing\, Story\, and Building the Puzzle and TV Writing II: The Outline Is Your Map or equivalent experience \n\nTwo writing samples will be required if equivalency needed; details will be provided in the course description in the spring\n\n\nRegistration will open in October 2025\n\n\n\nPlease note: Students will complete graded assignments and writing exercises and will receive instructor feedback throughout the course.

SUMMARY:TV Writing I: Pre-Writing\, Story\, and Building the Puzzle with Brian Bradley (VIRTUAL)
DESCRIPTION:TV Writing I: Pre-Writing\, Story\, and Building the Puzzle introduces students to the essential first steps of developing an original television series. Focusing on process and structure\, this course guides students through a step-by-step system for organizing early ideas\, concepts\, characters\, and themes into a cohesive\, workable show concept. Through instructor-led exercises\, students will learn Building the Puzzle — a pre-writing approach that brings order to the typically chaotic early development stage\, allowing a show’s concept to emerge piece by piece\, much like assembling a jigsaw puzzle. \nStudents will also study and apply the Story Circle — a refined version of the Hero’s Journey adapted for television — learning to analyze pilot episodes and break their own pilot stories using this 8-step structure. Topics include identifying act breaks\, building tension\, and shaping compelling character arcs. \nBy the end of the course\, students will have created a show logline\, developed a Story Area document for their pilot\, completed detailed character sheets\, and established the foundation they will need to outline and write a full script in subsequent classes. This class is ideal for anyone who wants to create their own original TV series and learn professional development techniques used by working television writers. \nThis course is the first in a 3-part Series.\nThe NEXT courses in the sequence are:\n\n TV Writing II: The Outline Is Your Map (6 Weeks; VIRTUAL) – Fall 2025: October 20-November 24\, 2025\n\nThe PREREQUISTE for this course is: TV Writing I: Pre-Writing\, Story\, and Building the Puzzle\nRemember to REGISTER before this course fills! \n\n\nTV Writing III (15 Weeks; VIRTUAL) – Spring 2026: August 10-November 23\, 2026\n\nThe PREREQUISTES for this course are: TV Writing I: Pre-Writing\, Story\, and Building the Puzzle and TV Writing II: The Outline Is Your Map\n\n\n\nPlease note: Students will complete graded assignments and writing exercises and will receive instructor feedback throughout the course.
