The Bitter Script Reader interviews TV writer Liz Tigelaar

On January 29, 2009, The Bitter Script Reader went live with his first blog post. By July 13, 2009, I was promoting TBSR with this post. Over the years, I have been happy to call Bitter a good friend of this blog and a valuable asset to the online screenwriting community, his frequent posts providing invaluable insight into the craft and business of screenwriting.

So I’m pleased to alert everyone to a cool interview series Bitter has done with TV writer Liz Tigelaar. Some background via Bitter:

Liz Tigelaar is a prolific television writer who has been working for over a decade. After getting her start as a writer’s assistant on “Dawson’s Creek,” she went on to join the staffs of several successful TV shows, including “American Dreams,” “Kyle XY,” “What About Brian,” “Brothers & Sisters,” “Dirty Sexy Money,” “Once Upon a Time” and “Revenge.”

She was also the creator and show-runner of the CW’s “Life Unexpected.”

In this segment of the Bitter Script Reader’s interview, Liz talks about how she got her start as a writer’s assistant, and how that led to her first script assignment in TV, writing a significant episode of “Dawson’s Creek.”

For anyone looking to break into TV, this is a must see!

Landing an interview with a writer like Tigelaar proves that Bitter is no dummy… even if he looks like one in the video. You can follow Bitter on Twitter: @BittrScrptReadr.
