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.
