Alex and Nick discuss everything you need to know about rewriting your TV script. Whether you’re working on a spec or in a writers’ room, we look at reasons why you should rewrite and things to watch out for.
When should you rewrite? Why are notes a critical part of rewriting? What edits should you do on the page? What if your script still runs too long or too short?
Plus, we give feedback on four teasers in our inaugural Paper Tease session!
