“The most subversive thing this show could do is make you cry… If you really boil down television, really cook it in the pan, it's the character business. I'm in the character business. Movies are in the plot and spectacle business, for television, there's a thing about laying in bed and watching someone in your bedroom or living room that you really care about, you're inviting these people into your house. The more you care about them, the more your show will succeed. There's no simple formula, but you could boil down every single TV show to if the characters work, that show is likely going to work. If the characters don't work, no matter what that show is, no matter how much money you throw at it, that show is not going to work,” says Eric Kripke, creator and showrunner for The Boys on Prime Video. In this special episode hosted by screenwriting career coach Lee Jessup live from the Writers Guild Foundation in Los Angeles, Kripke talks about the functions of a showrunner, the excellent training he got doing 15 seasons of the show Supernatural, and what it's like when the real world mirrors the darker aspects of The Boys. Kripke also shares his sage advice for writing dialogue. “I was interviewing people about their life experiences – it was a romantic comedy so I was asking people about their love lives. I wanted to transcribe it, so I had about 20 hours of material that I'm just transcribing and that's how I learned to write dialogue, just from doing that because you learn how people really speak. No one speaks in straight, declarative sentences. It's this weaving thing where they'll start and they'll back away and throw in a new idea. When you start to pay attention to what real language looks like on a page, it's very different than what you think it looks like. So, to know what it looked like and how to recreate it, was huge. I recommend everyone try that,” says Kripke. To hear more, listen to the podcast. You can also watch this episode here.
Career coach Lee Jessup returns to discuss the industry changes and writing trends of 2024 and shares what's ahead for the new year.
“The streaming bubble finally popped, and I think the tip of the spear that popped it was the double strikes we had last year and now we're calling it the great contraction. It's a really tough time for up-and-coming writers to break in. It's tough for everyone, even up-and-coming agents and managers, anyone coming out to Hollywood to pursue a career. It's one of the toughest times ever, so you need to be patient,” says literary manager Jeff Portnoy, of Bellevue Productions. On today's podcast, guest host Lee Jessup, Hollywood's leading screenwriting career coach and judge of the Big Break screenwriting competition, interviews Jeff Portnoy, literary manager for Bellevue Productions. They discuss the current state of the industry and how it's affecting writers. “We've been encouraging a lot of new writers to focus on features at the moment and explaining how bleak the TV staffing market is right now. So if they have hopes of getting staffed, it's very difficult right now. Typically, if we had a client who wants to write in the TV space, we'd help them get a TV agent and we, the agents and I, would go out and try to get them staffed. But agents aren't really signing anyone below mid level right now, so they're not taking on those up-and-coming writers,” says Portnoy. But there is hope considering business trends are always cyclical. Portnoy shares this advice about writing spec features in this climate: “You want to stand out and that comes down to your ideas. The execution has to be great. It's about choosing ideas that really stand out in a pack – the words I like to use are loud, bold, audacious. Managers, agents, producers – we see thousands of loglines a month and if we see a logline that's loud, audacious and bold, it's going to stand out.” To hear more about the state of the industry, listen to the podcast.

TV and feature writer Eileen Jones talks about her career with screenwriting coach Lee Jessup. Eileen Jones made her entry into screenwriting through the Warner Brothers' Television Workshop, which led to being staffed on the TV series Lethal Weapon. Eileen has since moved into feature films, penning the original female-led action western Highwayman after participating in the inaugural Lucky Exports Pitch Program. She is currently writing the female-led spy movie Marks for New Line Cinema, The Safran Company, and Hodson Exports. Eileen talks about breaking in, sustaining her career, and how to stay inspired: "What makes you excited? What is going to be fun for you to sit down and write every day? I've certainly had experiences where I wrote a script where I was like, 'This is small, it's really personal, I just need to write it, so I'm gonna do it,' and that's been valuable. But for me, now, I'm really thinking about, 'How do I have that meaningful conversation with as many people as possible?'" Don't forget to subscribe to the Write On Podcast on iTunes!

Moisés Zamora, creator of Netflix's Selena: The Series about the legendary singer, talks to guest host Lee Jessup about why it was important for this show to have a writers room primarily made up of Mexican American voices. "All of the writers I hired [for Selena] were Latinx because it was important for the storytelling… and within that Latinx monolith, there's a lot of diversity, and so I was really proud to be able to cultivate those sort of relationships with those writers and getting to know them and realizing there's so many more stories to tell, from the Latin American, Indigenous, Afro-Latinx point of view." Moisés takes us through his varied writing career, starting with writing novels in Spanish, working in advertising and marketing, to landing his first TV job on American Crime. "I don't think writing is, in any form, wasted. So if a pilot doesn't give you the results that you wanted, it doesn't matter! It just starts developing a layer of talent on top of another layer of talent, and without that pilot, maybe it doesn't lead to another project, so keep your mind open to always growing."
