A lot of writers I know complain that it’s hard to get an inside look at how successful TV writers handle their craft. But some help is finally on the way. An old friend of mine, Sylvia Desrochers, who’s both an accomplished opera singer and a PR maven, is handling the new DVD release – out this month – titled THE WRITE ENVIRONMENT, through her new company Big Time PR & Marketing.

The six episode interview series features top television writers in the industry, including Damon Lindelof (Lost), Tim Kring (Heroes), Phil Rosenthal (Everybody Loves Raymond), Doug Ellin (Entourage), Sam Simon (The Simpsons), and Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) – a pretty impressive group.  Created and hosted by screenwriter and journalist Jeffrey Berman, each episode of THE WRITE ENVIRONMENT takes viewers backstage into the here-to unseen world of the writer’s room for intimate interviews that offer a rare look at these diverse writers and what inspires them. From that first idea to the finished script, the writers share their views and stories, examining their successes, failures and everything in between. If these guys can’t help and inspire you, probably no one can.
