The All-New “Roadmap” Is Now Available!

I am thrilled to announce the release of the all-new edition of The TV Showrunner’s Roadmap: Creating Great Television in an On Demand World. The book contains proven tools and tips for creating, writing, pitching, selling, and eventually running your own hit streaming series. It features interviews with showrunners Issa Rae (Insecure), Dan Levy (Schitt’s Creek), Jesse Armstrong (Succession), Sam Levinson (Euphoria), and many, many more.

"Neil truly understands how television is changing and what today's creators need in order to transition to tomorrow's landscape."
