â€œI have so much information to share with you about writing for TV that I want to invite you on a journey into this often misunderstood world. Despite what you might think, it's actually relatively easy to meet with producers and TV network executives. But the hard part is presenting yourself and your material to the TV industry in exactly the right way. Because, unless you follow the TV industry protocols and correctly format proposals, scripts and show bibles, youâ€™ll likely come across as an amateur. But, don't worry, my friend, because I can teach you everything you need to know about writing for TV.â€
