Synopsis
A veteran writer presents his personal account of being in the trenches of the television industry, offering advice and tactics for aspiring scriptwriters. Steven L. Sears has had a successful career in film and television encompassing over thirty years of involvement at all levels. From his beginnings as a staff writer on the hit NBC show The A-Team, to Co-Executive Producer on the hit series Xena-Warrior Princess for MCA/Universal, creator and Executive Producer of Sheena for Sony/TriStar Television, and many pilot and development deals with the major studios and production companies, he has amassed a huge amount of experience and knowledge about the inner workings of the entertainment industry. In The Non-User-Friendly Guide for Aspiring Television Writers, he shares that experience and gives advice for those considering a career in television writing. Instead of the traditional academic and sterile approach, Steven answers questions from a personal, first person perspective. The questions have been culled from the real world, people seeking out his advice and looking for the experience that most books don&’t have. Some of what he writes about are hard and difficult facts to accept about the business. Other times it&’s his opinion based on his vast experience. But all of it is unsweetened and direct. Even if you don&’t like his answers, he will certainly make you think hard about your approach and choices when pursuing a career in an extremely difficult industry. As a result, you will be better prepared to achieve the success that he has had. Accessible, personable, and relaxed, &“It&’s like having lunch with Steven and asking him questions about the business. Without having to watch him eat.&”
