The TV Showrunner's Roadmap Creating Great Television in an On Demand World

Since the moment I first read The TV Showrunners Roadmap, Neil Landau has been my TV writing guru. How fortunate am I to have had his mentorship while writing the original draft of the POSE pilot and to now call him friend.

This edition is chock-full of insider tips from some of the industry's best and brightest. If you are serious about a career in television or streaming, I urge you to READ THIS BOOK."

The showrunners might be providing the roadmap, but Landau couldn't be a more impassioned and knowledgeable driver.... No one gets under the hood of what makes great television work better than he does.

Finally, a clear, concise and up-to-date book not only for aspiring TV writers but for industry professionals. Neil digs not only into the craft of creating a series, but also into the emotional journey of what it takes to find your voice as a TV writer. The interviews with current showrunners are useful, practical, and inspiring.
