Dear Writers & Friends -
The TV Writers Vault is in full swing for Spring, as
we've become the first Industry website with series
brought to Air-
A first in the merging of new
media and television. This means more exposure
for your projects, and more projects to be sold. I
urge all of our Writing Members to take advantage of
the intensified focus our marketplace is getting
from the industry, and get new projects into the
mix. Here's a breakdown of the types of projects
being scouted the heaviest:
Docu-Style Reality Series that explore unique
environments, businesses, professions, lifestyles,
families, travel, music, pop-culture. High Concept
Reality Series that bring new twists to current
successful series' (not spin-offs, but variations of
the formats that work). And every Producer's
dream... a break-out
Gameshow
format that can become an international hit
franchise. Those are the types of project most
scouted and sold.
Here's a bit of info on creating pitches for docu-style
series. And some fundamental info on creating
Reality Show Concepts, and Game Show Formats.
When writing your concepts, I want to urge all of
you to focus on detailing what we're actually
watching, instead of getting bogged down in pitching
"why" the show is great, or other extra details that
"sell" the show, but don't "show" the show.
Producers want to read a pitch and SEE what the show
can potentially be. Writers who are connecting with
Producers through our site know from those
conversations how Producers zoom right in on what
we're actually going to see in the show. Many
conversations fall apart when the producer says, "
so
the idea is interesting, but what are we actually
watching". Be specific, be original, and be
dedicated enough to think it through before
pitching. When you do that, you'll find more
Producers interested, and you only need one to go
the distance.
If you are, or know of a unique family, business,
lifestyle, venue, subject, or other facet of life
that would make for a compelling show,
pitch
it at the TV Writers Vault. We offer a protected
platform of exposure to many of the largest and most
successful companies in the industry producing
reality-based television.
Do you have that killer concept that's sure to be a
hit? Don't risk it getting "lost in translation". Be
sure your written pitch is crafted to communicate
its potential to the Producers.

Writing Services.
With multiple shows produced and aired globally
after being discovered at our site, we hope you'll
take advantage of the opportunity our service brings
to new Writers and Creators in the TV industry.
