The TV Showrunner's Roadmap: 21 Navigational Tips for Screenwriters to Create and Sustain a Hit TV Series Description
In this enlightening look behind the scenes, author Neil Landau provides you with the tools required to become an effective showrunner. Including insight from A-list showrunners such as Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad; X-Files), Alex Gansa (Homeland; Dexter; 24), Jason Katims (Parenthood; Friday Night Lights) and others, Landau and his guests provide in-depth advice about a range of issues, from structuring and developing a TV drama and creating iconic, multi-layered characters to dealing with network and studio script note, budgeting, and managing writer room crises.
The book eschews a one-size-fits-all approach, instead offering an array of perspective and covers network, basic cable, and premium cable stories (each of which have their own unique creative and business structures). Also included is a companion website with sample script pages, sample outlines, beat sheets, pitch documents, and more.

Neil Landau is rapidly becoming the resource of choice for the emerging generation of new writers. His first two books, 101 Things I Learned In Film School, followed by 21 Ways To Jumpstart Your Story have proved to be excellent companions, filled with essential information organized in a coherent, user-friendly format. A third book is now added to Neil’s canon: THE TV SHOWRUNNER’S ROADMAP. This book takes potential writer-entrepreneurs through the complex terrain of creating and sustaining a hit television series. Once again, Neil navigates his readers with clarity, with practical down-to-earth usable advice, with insight and with compassion. The book could not be more timely. With the paradigm shift to television, with the best work and greatest opportunities for writers now in that medium, this book is an absolute MUST HAVE for anyone hoping to take his or her best shot.
