Animation is a MEDIUM, not a genre. This, among many other important lessons on today’s episode, is one of the first thing Lorien tells people who are interested in writing animated TV for children. Today we discuss how to break into children’s animated TV, how production considerations weigh into the writing process, and what it means to signal a “red alert” in your work (hint: this is a good thing).

Welcome to The Screenwriting Life, a podcast where Oscar-nominated writer Meg LeFauve and Emmy-nominated writer Lorien McKenna discuss not only the craft and business of Screenwriting, but also the emotional life: the ups and downs of being a creative, to remind you that you are not alone and to keep writing.
