Welcome To The Writer’s Room
More than just a writing class, our TV Drama workshop gives you the experience of a real writer’s room on a 1 hour TV Drama or Dramedy series. You’ll learn the foundations of creating a successful TV Drama series, and collaborate on building show ideas and structure with your fellow students.
What You’ll Learn
Learn how to develop a series pilot that shows off your talent as a writer, creates an “engine” for an entire season, and captures the attention of anyone who reads it.
Plus, learn how to succeed in the exciting environment of a real world TV writer’s room, among a community of writers all working together for a common goal.
Includes 1-on-1 Consultation
This class includes a free consultation with one of our ProTrack mentors, offering you personalized 1-on-1 feedback on your writing to help you take the lessons of the class to the next level. Tell us about your project and we’ll match you with the right mentor.

The class was revelatory for me. I now understand structure in a way that is immensely helpful. The class is more focused on the process of structuring and selling your story, so I think it’s a perfect companion course to Jacob’s classes.

I would definitely recommend the TV Drama 101 class with Ron McCants, the class is affordable, and you’re able to learn from a staffed TV writer. You will learn how to properly setup a TV show like it’s done in the real world, and leave with the tools needed for the future.

I took the TV Drama Intensive this past November. It was a good introduction to how stories are told on television and what to look for in a series. The teacher is experienced and has a lot of optimism so the class never became dull or cynical. I’d recommend it to anyone.

After working in the arts for nearly thirty years as a writer, musician, and educator, I can honestly say that my one-on-one mentorship with Steve (Molton) has been one of the highlights of my entire creative life. Steve is not only a brilliant thinker and master storyteller, with complete command over numerous writing formats (features, TV, novels, etc.) but also a deeply empathetic, warm individual who cares about people and the world we live in. That combination of traits is truly rare, and I simply cannot recommend Steve highly enough, as someone who will help you in very tangible ways to dramatically improve your ability as a writer and storyteller, while also supporting your overall journey as a human being. If you have the chance to work with Steve, don’t waste time… do it!

Steve has been amazing; he has great wisdom and insight. I started ProTrack with him two months ago. The narrative of the feature I’m working on is now falling into place and I am absolutely thrilled. I look forward to finishing the first draft very soon.

Steve is an awesome human being! He has not only helped me with structural issues on my television series but he has also helped me to understand the real business of writing. His invaluable experience as a professional writer, professor, and as a Showtime/HBO executive makes him one of a kind. He knows how to evoke my imagination without spoon-feeding the answers. Every session is a gold mine for my work. I’m so grateful to be working with him. Thank you Jacob Krueger!

Steve is helping me enormously as I have embarked upon writing my first TV pilot and bible. He is one of the smartest and most insightful consultants I’ve worked with on this journey. I look forward to every session we have together because I am certain that he will provide thoughtful notes and tangible suggestions from suggestions about character development to plot. Steve is helping me move my screenwriting forward and I am confident that with his mentorship, I will be presenting my best work, when I pitch my project.

I ended up in Steve Molton’s free meet-up class on a sudden impulse to check out screenwriting. I was so excited and encouraged by Steve my first night, I signed up for his full eight weeks and stayed with him as my mentor. I am now on my way to completing my first screenplay that he insists is a movie!
He is inspiring and insightful, a real pro whose movies I can actually see, and a tough mentor who forces one to aim higher (and get the damn formatting perfect!). I would have never started a screenplay with such serious intentions had I not been fortunate enough to encounter Steve. -
Steve has been invaluable to me. The more sessions I have with him, the more I can feel my writing improve. He’s got a knack for pulling things out of me and giving me the confidence to find my voice while, at the same time, moving forward with my project. It’s hard to explain, but I wouldn’t be where I am with my script without him.

This is an opportunity to take a class with an active, real writer who works in a writer’s room.
