5 years ago, a good spec TV script could land you a job on staff. Now, everyone wants spec pilots. So where are the resources on how to write one? Enter William Rabkin: not only has he written and/or produced hundreds of hours of dramatic television, but he literally wrote the book on pilot writing. William Rabkin served as showrunner on the long-running Dick Van Dyke mystery series ?Diagnosis Murder? and on the action-adventure spectacle ?Martial Law.? His many writing and producing credits include ?The Glades,? ?Monk,? ?Psych, ?Nero Wolfe,? ?Missing,? ?Spenser: For Hire,? ?seaQuest 2032,? ?Hunter? and ?The Cosby Mysteries.? He has also written a dozen network TV pilots. His work has been nominated twice for the Edgar Award for best television episode by the Mystery Writers of America. Writing the Pilot is not Billapos;s first book? he also co-wrote Successful Television Writing (2003), with Lee Goldberg. Bill is also the author of the novels ?A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Read,? ?Mind Over Magic,? ?The Call of the Mild,? ?A Fatal Frame of Mind? and ?Mind-Altering Murder.? Bill is the co-creator and co-editor of ?The Dead Man,? a monthly series of supernatural action thrillers published by Amazon?s 47North imprint, and has written three instalments.
