Television drama has come to rival cinema in its sophisticated narrative form and high production values. At the heart of this success is the television writer, and TV has become the home of some of the most exciting and high quality writing.



In a series of original interviews, showrunners and writers from some of the biggest American TV dramas of recent years share their experiences and practices of the ‘writers’ room’, on shows such as The Sopranos, The Wire, Mad Men and Game of Thrones. Christina Kallas frames these insider insights with an astute overview of the writer’s instrumental role in the rise of sophisticated TV narrative, and concluding reflections which will

be invaluable to writers, critics and fans alike.



'The simple, honest interrogation of a glittering parade of show runners means every page packs a punch for the daydreaming writer of the next Sopranos.' – Andrew Collins, Film Editor, Radio Times, UK



Christina Kallas teaches at the School of the Arts Film Division at Columbia University, at Barnard College, and at the New School for Media Studies in New York. An awarded writer-producer, she has been the President of the Federation of Screenwriters in Europe since 2006, and is the founder of the Writers Improv Studio in New York. She is the author of Creative Screenwriting: Understanding Emotional Structure.
