#Shelby Fero

Rough Syllabus 10/31
Table It
Welcome!!!
Impress your friends by making your 2018 resolution to finish that script you’ve been putting off and let me, unemployed&Emmy-winning writer Shelby Fero (plus all of our lovely participants) help you do it! The secret is, we’re getting started on it in 2017.
SO WHAT IS THIS?
A fun, constructive way to improve your writing and finish a project before the first month of 2018 is over. “Table It” will be hosted at Shelby’s house in Frogtown every Saturday and Sunday from 945am-12pm (there’ll be coffee I promise!) Each week we’ll tackle the next step in the script writing process, so by the time the 8-week session is done you’ll have a working sample script and the foundation of a pitch deck for your show or short film, plus practice working in a collaborative writers’ room-like setting. Shelby (me! Hello!) will read and review everyone’s work before each meet-up to provide personalized help and notes for each member, before opening it up to the table for input.
IF YOU’RE INTERESTED, I ask that YOU ask yourself a few questions before deciding yes/no on participating this time around:
-- Can I commit to at least 5 out of the 8 weeks of classes? (barring catastrophe of course)
-- Can I put in the time and effort to do the weekly assignments? (you don’t have to complete them, but you at least have to show the work the same respect and effort as I and your teammates)
-- Can I be polite, respectful, and appreciative of my peers for putting in the time and energy to better me as a writer? (things can get tense in a writer’s room, and it’s on you to be the most mature, respectful version of yourself. Like dick jokes are great, sexist racist or homophobic jokes and comments are not)
-- Can I be polite and respectful of Shelby, despite the fact that she’s 24 years old and kind of an idiot, because she’s letting me into her home and also is surprisingly ok at writing television? (It’s true: I’m VERY surprisingly ok!)
If the answer is yes, or no, read on to get a feel for what this would entail, then hit me back with your answer! If this schedule doesn’t work this time around no worries -- if this goes well I’ll definitely be doing it again. And if it goes poorly, you dodged a bullet. Congrats!
This is a tentative syllabus -- will adjust as necessary based off of the pace of the room -- but this is the basic schedule we’re going to try to stick to.
WEEK 1, DAY 1 -- 11/11/2017
Intros&General Brainstorm
AT THE TABLE: We’ll talk briefly about basic story structure, tone, and what type of projects we’d like to work on, as well as the schedule for the next 4-6 weeks. Each person will have a chance to pitch their ideas to the table, and receive feedback and brainstorming help. If you don’t have one yet, that’s fine! If you have one you definitely want to write, that’s great! If you’re deciding between a few, let’s help you pick the right one!
AT HOME: Pick your favorite idea for a TV pilot, episode, or short film (our final product will be 25-35 pages).
WEEK 1, DAY 2 -- 11/12/2017
Character Development&World Building
AT THE TABLE: We’ll go over the basics of character descriptions and world building, including formatting and presentation for a TV pitch. We’ll practice writing character descriptions at the table, and brainstorm on our specific projects.
AT HOME: Write as much as you can, free-style, about each of your characters; anything that pops into your head about who this person is or how they’d react to something. From that, write up a ½-1 page character description for your main character, as well as appropriately lengthed character descriptions for each of your supporting or side characters. **If You’re Having Trouble** try to answer the question “How would they order their coffee?” It sounds silly, but knowing without a doubt how each character would respond in seemingly innocuous situations will lead to fuller characters.
WEEK 2, DAY 1 -- 11/18/2017
Breaking Story
AT THE TABLE: We’ll discuss the benefits beat sheets and outlines, how to do it (hint: everyone has a different method and they’re all good), pacing, and what should or shouldn’t go into a pilot. We’ll begin to brainstorm the major plot beats for each of our projects.
AT HOME: Write up a 1-3 page beat sheet for your project, hitting only the major plot notes of your episode and major character arcs (ie: “Intro John” is enough at this point for John’s intro). This will be the skeleton of our episode.
WEEK 2, DAY 2 -- 11/19/2017
Outline Outline Outline
AT THE TABLE: We’ll look at some examples of episode outlines&review everyone’s beat sheets. We’ll begin to pitch on the specific beats, identifying any weak spots, and help bolster character arcs. We’ll review& pitch on everybody’s first acts and as much of their second acts as time allows.
AT HOME: Begin outlining baby!!! Bring in your completed Act 1 outline.
WEEK 3, DAY 1&2 (At Home -- Thanksgiving Weekend)
Outline Outline Outline, Cont.
AT THE TABLE: We’ll remotely swap act 2&3 outlines. Enjoy Thanksgiving!!
AT HOME: Finish that outline babyyyy!!!!!
WEEK 4, DAY 1 -- 12/2/2017
Scene Time
AT THE TABLE: We’ll go over what makes a compelling scene, as well as write mini practice scenes to read out loud for examples of tone/pacing.
AT HOME: Write the first 1-3 pages of your script (cold open).
WEEK 4, DAY 2 -- 12/3/2017
Scene Time Cont.
AT THE TABLE: We’ll read the beginnings of our scripts aloud for feedback, as well as take this time to finish any outline review or to ask and answer any questions we still have.
AT HOME: Start that script!!!! Try to write a page or two every day, so by the end of the week you have a completed act 1 (5-8 pages)
WEEK 5, DAY 1 -- 12/9/2017
Act One Table Read

A Whimsical Wordsmith Charts a Course Beyond Twitter
Twitter offered an alternative route for Sun, who is Asian, to catch the eye of traditional media, just as it has for many others. Professional comedy writing has long been a white-male preserve, but Twitter has helped quite a few people who don’t fit that mold — people like Megan Amram, Shelby Fero and Demi Adejuyigbe — to gain admission to the club. “With Asian-American representation,” Sun says, “we still aren’t at the level where we have that many people to look up to yet. Someone tweeted me and said, ‘When I found out you were Asian, I started crying, because I’d never seen anyone like that doing what you do.’” (x)
