WHAT IS THE NICKELODEON WRITING PROGRAM?
Developed to broaden Nickelodeon’s outreach efforts, the Nickelodeon Writing Program is designed to attract, develop and staff writers with diverse backgrounds and experiences on Nickelodeon Network productions.
Operating in a three-phased structure, the Program provides a salaried position for up to one year and offers hands-on experience writing spec scripts and pitching story ideas in both live action and animation television.
This three-phased structure allows writers an opportunity to nurture relationships with creators, network executives, line producers, head writers, show runners and story editors.
As part of their script writing, each writer will be assigned to an Executive in Charge of Production and have an opportunity to write a spec script for an on-air Nickelodeon show.
For consideration in the 2014 – 2015 Program, materials must be submitted together between January 2, 2014 and February 28, 2014. Please review the Submission Guidelines for additional requirements.
You are not required to send in your submission through recorded delivery. However, to ensure proof of mailing, you may wish to use this service since we will not confirm receipt of your application package.
Semi-‐finalists will be notified by the end of August, 2014
Finalists will be notified by the beginning of September 2014
Chosen Fellows will be notified by the end of September 2014
All others will be notified, by mail, by the end of October 2014
Please note: Notification dates are subject to change.
In addition, all writers are integrated into the activities of both the development and production departments. This allows the writers an opportunity to attend storyboard pitches, notes meetings, records, table reads, show pitches and show tapings; all while being exposed to top creators and key production crews.
