Nickelodeon Animation Writing Program ft. Katherine Wells – Inside the TV Writing Programs (PT179)

Alex and Nick bring back their “Inside the TV Writing Program” series – a deep dive into what goes on inside every major TV writing program from the decision makers themselves.

Our sixth part takes a look at the revamped Nickelodeon Animation Writing Program, with Katherine Wells, who heads it as the Manager of Creative Talent Development and Outreach.

We discuss everything about it, from their brand new application and selection process, to how they adapt the program’s content to the industry, and what comes after.
