Development is a large and central part of the American TV
industry, and yet the details of how it works - who makes
development decisions and why, where ideas for new shows come from,
even basics like the differences between what TV studios and TV
networks do - remain elusive to many. In this book, lecturer and
acclaimed television producer Bob Levy offers a detailed
introduction to television development, the process by which the
Hollywood TV industry creates new scripted series. Written both for
students and industry professionals, Television Development serves
as a comprehensive introduction to all facets of the development
process: the terminology, timelines, personnel and industrial
processes that take a new TV project from idea to pitch to script
to pilot to series. In addition to describing these processes, Levy
also examines creative strategies for successful development, and
teaches readers how to apply these strategies to their own careers
and speak the language of development across all forms of visual
storytelling. Written by the renowned producer responsible for
developing and executive producing Gossip Girl and Pretty Little
Liars, Television Development is an essential starting point for
students, executives, agents, producers, directors and writers to
learn how new series are created. Accompanying online material
includes sample pitches, pilot scripts, and other development
documents. A companion website for the book is available here:

Adam Baldwin, in the middle of his seventh term as a United States
Senator, is at the pinnacle of his career. And he is the
front-runner for his party's nomination for President at the
looming Democratic National Convention. But a dark cloud hangs over
his head. There is a seemingly far-fetched accusation that the
candidate murdered a young woman decades before when in college.
This is scoffed at by the local police, but when a suspicious
explosion kills the accuser's family, the curiosity of the retired
Memphis Chief of Police, Joe O'Riley, a high school classmate of
Baldwin's, is aroused. O'Riley senses truth in the allegations,
especially after a woman reports knowledge of the same murder. Yet,
how could the man who made the accusation and this woman know such
vivid details of the murder when neither was alive at the time it
happened? And how could they know details of O'Riley's past known
only to himself? Might all this be a link to an unsolved missing
person case, O'Riley's first as a rookie cop, that had haunted him
his whole career? Death and destruction stalk the couple as O'Riley
jumps into the fray, determined to find out the truth before the
country elects a murderer as the next President of the United
States. "Past Tense" is a sequel to Bob Levy's previous work, the
highly successful suspense thriller, "Broken Hearts" from Sunstone
Press. He is also the author of "From the Coin's Point of View," a
Roman history/short story collection. He is a graduate of the
University of Virginia. A retailer by trade with Oak Hall, a
specialty clothing store founded by his great-great-grandfather in
1859, the author resides in Memphis, Tennessee. John Grisham said:
"Bob Levy weaves a delightful tale of suspense and mystery, and the
pages go flying by," and "Library Bookwatch" reported that it was
..".a well crafted, exciting and suspenseful tale. Also highly
recommended is Levy's suspense novel 'Broken Hearts.'"
