Whether you are writing drama, comedy, or any other genre, families and the dynamics of familial relationships offer a deep well of stories and perspectives. For this session, we partner with Stephens College MFA in TV and Screenwriting for a discussion about writing diverse families on television. We’ll explore how TV writers have expanded depictions of the family unit over the years and how they’ve developed storylines that reflect the complexity and universality of these inescapable bonds.

Sheryl J. Anderson - Creator and Executive Producer, Sweet Magnolias
Lang Fisher - Co-creator and Executive Producer, Never Have I Ever
