Recently, Shore Scripts welcomed several of the winners from last year’s TV Pilot Mentorship Program for an informative look at their experiences in the program and how the program helped shape and create momentum for their screenwriting careers.
Writers from around the world joined us for our chat with 2025 winners Ryan Luong, Joanna Dack, Ryan Cunningham, and Sierra Ducharme-Hansen, where they offered their insights and advice on everything from sharpening your point of view to networking to working with industry professionals and everything in between.
