what they are looking for material wise.

STORYWISE TELESEMINAR - 10 WEEKS TO A COMPLETED SPEC AND PILOT SCRIPT
The new start date of the Storywise Teleseminar has been changed to Sunday, April 11, 2010. There were two reasons behind the change. We realized that Sunday, March 7th is the Oscars. In addition, I sold a book proposal and the manuscript is due in April. My book is called LOG LINE: FINDING THE GOLD IN YOUR STORY and will be out in April of 2011.
We also redesigned the Storywise Teleseminar into two classes. The spec script writing class will be the first 5 weeks. Then, there will be a week break. Then, the pilot script writing class will begin Sunday, May 16th and last 5 weeks. You can sign up for either or both. You will complete your spec scripts in time for most of the writing program submission deadlines and you will complete pilots in time for development.
Significantly increase your chances of success this year by using Jen's guidance and feedback to complete a new spec and a new pilot script in time for staffing and development.
