CHANCE FOR WRITERS

To prepare and place Latino writers at major television networks, the National Latino Media Council has opened the submission period for “The NLMC Television Writers Program.”

Participants’ scripts will be read by network executives to pick the most promising. Those writers selected will be interviewed and mentored by the executives. Those interested must be able to write at least one half-hour comedy or one-hour dramatic TV script in English within a five week period. The program, to be conducted in Burbank, Calif., runs this year from Oct. 8 to Nov.
