Amy’s THE AMERICANS spec script was also a Semifinalist in Austin Film Festival’s Teleplay Contest. We’re fortunate in that many of those writers come out of Script Anatomy classes and workshops, so we thought this month, as you’re rounding the final lap of fellowship deadlines, we’d ask them about their specs that went “all the way” in hopes that their stories will offer you insight and encouragement.įor this article, we spoke to Charmaine DeGraté, a writer on CW’s The 100 whose THE AMERICANS spec script got her traction in two fellowships and a contest, eventually earning her a spot in the Warner Brothers Writers Workshop Jeane Wong, an NBC Writes on the Verge alumni whose first episode of ARROW aired Thursday April 5th, and whose winning iZOMBIE spec script was also a finalist for the Disney | ABC Writing Program and Amy Lambert, alumni of this year’s NBC Writers on the Verge class who’s in the thick of her very first staffing season.
