Fleabag... The Queen''s Gambit... Peaky Blinders... Happy Valley... All phenomenally popular shows, whose creators had to work hard to hone their pitches and get their ideas noticed. And even harder to deliver on those ideas. From the initial spark of inspiration to the delivery of a creative, commercial series, From Creation to Pitch sets out to demystify the entire process of Television Series Drama Development for writers who are keen to get their voices heard and their stories read, discussed and viewed. Employing a practical, no-nonsense approach to what can be a minefield for many creatives, Yvonne Grace applies her decades of experience in development, script-editing and production. She also includes illuminating, in-depth interviews with leading practitioners about working on their own TV shows, including Tony Jordan who discusses the making of hit shows Sanditon and Death in Paradise, Ashley Pharoah who talks about his passion project The Living and the Dead and his multi-facetted drama Around the World in 80 Days, and Sarah Pinborough on her successful Netflix thriller Behind Her Eyes, adapted from her own bestseller. Perfect for anyone who is just starting out in the industry, as well as more experienced screenwriters looking to take the next step in their career.
