In this 90-minute workshop, we will focus on learning how to craft your personal essay, staffing pitch essay, and resume for the 2023 TV Writing Fellowship season. This interactive presentation is followed by a Q&A session led by a working television writer who recently completed Disney General Entertainment’s 2022 TV Writing Program. Class sizes are kept small to allow for everyone to individually workshop their essay ideas and ask personalized questions. Writers at all levels are welcome!
Instructor: Ariana Quiñónez is a television writer currently developing a pilot with 20th Television Studios. A staff writer on ABC’s Home Economics, Ariana previously wrote on the CW’s Roswell, New Mexico, and was a 2022 program writer in the Disney General Entertainment Writing Program.
Testimonials:
“The essay portion of every diversity application always feels daunting and annoying, but Ariana somehow made me excited to write mine. Her advice is practical, informative and she always works to help tell the story YOU want to tell.” – Crystal Ferreiro (TV Writer: Hermanas, Diary of a Future President, Trinkets)
“I took this class and learned so many good nuggets on how to STAND OUT and what these fellowship programs are really looking for, especially in that staffing essay. Ariana knows her stuff! I highly recommend!” – Sandra Hamada (TV Writer: Ultra Violet and Black Scorpion)
“Ariana was a huge help on my fellowship applications. She has such a sharp sense for what these programs are looking for, and how to make your voice shine even if you only have a few paragraphs to work with. With her guidance, I was able to write strong personal essays I knew I could be proud of.” – Jess Gonzalez (TV Writer: Diary of a Future President)
“Ariana’s guidance is so incredibly helpful. I still reference her essay every time I apply for a new fellowship.” – Victoria González (Warner Media Access Fellow 2021-2022, TV Writer: Saved by the Bell)
