As entertaining as it is enlightening, "Created By..."presents a stellar cast of 21 show creators who candidly talk about writing and selling hit television series: J.J. Abrams ("Alias", "Lost"); Alan Ball ("Six Feet Under"); Yvette Lee Bowser ("Living Single", "Half amp Half"); Mark Brazill ("That '70s Show"); Ilene Chaiken ("The L Word"); Larry David ("Seinfeld", "Curb Your Enthusiasm"); Tom Fontana ("Oz"); Tracy Gamble ("8 Simple Rules"); Dave Hackel ("Becker"); Barbara Hall ("Joan of Arcadia"); Brenda Hampton ("7th Heaven", "Fat Actress"); Bill Lawrence ("Scrubs"); Dennis Leoni ("Resurrection Blvd."); Max Mutchnick and David Kohan ("Will amp Grace"); Tracy Newman and Jonathan Stark ("According to Jim"); Josh Schwartz ("The O.C."); Shawn Ryan ("The Shield"); Amy Sherman-Palladino ("Gilmore Girls"); Joss Whedon ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer", "Angel"). They discuss influences: writing spec scripts; first jobs in TV; getting an agent; mentors; being staffed as a writer; the pitch; writing a pilot; putting yourself in the characters you create; rewriting; producing a pilot; marketing; hiring a writing staff; making a show last; TV writing vs. film writing; drama vs. sitcom; cable vs. network TV; what show creators look for in a writer; writers block; luck..and much more. This is a lively, well-written must-have book for all screenwriters and television writers - wannabes, novices, and professionals - as well as all avid TV fans.
