Lesser Known Fellowships and Labs

If you are interested in becoming a working screenwriter, most likely, at some point or another you’ve heard about “The Fellowships.” Usually this means the TV writing fellowships offered by CBS/Viacom, Disney, NBC, or Warner Brothers. Occasionally other programs, such as Sundance Episodic Lab or Universal Writers Program, will get lumped into the discussion. These programs are well-known within the writing community and are considered excellent opportunities for the writers who are chosen. The networking, mentorship, and training offered have helped many of today’s upper-level writers get their start.
