From Alex Strachan of Postmedia News, interviewing the man behind TV, eh?‘s Vancouver TV Writing Seminar (register here):

  • Art and commerce can both be served: House writer Lawrence Kaplow on how it’s done

The seminar will cover such practical areas as pitching story ideas, script development, story structure, the politics of the writers’ room, and how to deal with notes from the studio and network.
