A total of 15 writers of color will be selected to take part in the intensive educational forum, which will mark the return of workshop facilitator, Carole Kirschner. A veteran television executive and the architect of the CBS Diversity Institute Writers Mentoring Program, Kirschner led the previous installment of the workshop, which was held Spring of 2008 in Los Angeles. Designed to give participants the opportunity to hone their craft and learn the essentials of creating, packaging and selling a script, the NAMIC Fall 2008 Writers' Workshop application deadline is August 8, 2008.
The NAMIC Fall 2008 Writers' Workshop is made possible through the support of the Walter Kaitz Foundation.
