Watch - More Than a Period: Writing Girls Coming of Age Stories for TV

On August 13, we teamed up with Stephens College MFA in TV and Screenwriting for a discussion about crafting girls’ coming-of-age stories. The panel of writers will share how their shows address this formative period for its characters, how their own experiences informed their writing, and why coming-of-age stories are an endless source of stories.

Panelists:

  • Rheeqrheeq Chainey - Staff Writer, The Baby Sitters Club

  • Sonia Kharkar - Executive Story Editor, On My Block, Never Have I Ever

  • Christina Nieves - Staff Writer, Generation

  • Ilana Peña - Creator, Diary of a Future President

Moderated by Dr. Rosanne Welch, Director of Stephens College MFA in TV and Screenwriting.
