HERE is an interview I did with L.A. Screenwriter, discussing my book Story Maps: TV Drama: The Structure of the One-Hour Television Pilot.

It still lines up, which is amazing because for so many years we’ve talked about how in feature screenplays, you have this same basic structure, the four act structure — Act 1, Act 2A, Act 2B, Act 3 — but no one ever really talked about it for TV. I really wanted to set out and try to do that.
