A few years ago I wrote a series of columns for AbsoluteWrite.com about How to Write for TV and How to Sell Your TV Show. I still get e-mail, questions and even some job offers from those articles. To my great shock, the articles rank on the first page of Google on a search for “How to Sell Your Show.”
I think the articles still hold up today, but if I were to change anything it’s how the web has altered the landscape. The field is wide open. If you can put some video shorts on YouTube (and other video sites) and get a lot of traffic, you could sell a TV idea that way too. Agents are always searching the web.
Some TV show pitches have been made into webisodes, such as “The Jeannie Tate Show,” which features a highly-annoying, funny soccer mom doing a talk show from inside her minivan. This web show stars Liz Cackowsk who performed with the famed Second City troupe and wrote for Saturday Night Live.
