How to Write for Continuing Drama with Jillian Mannion

Writing for continuing drama is fast-paced, fun and full of heart. The key to succeeding in this area of screenwriting is breaking down and understanding the components of what goes into storytelling for an ensemble cast with long-running storylines. 

In this seminar, screenwriter and former WFTV mentee Jillian Mannion shares her journey into screenwriting, dissects the continuing drama writing process and shares her own methods.

Speaker

This year she received the WGGB award for Best Long Running Series for an episode of BBC Scotland's continuing drama River City and was lead writer for Netflix's new trailblazing docu-drama Blood, Sex & Royalty.
