7+7
The 7+7 Method for Professional TV Writers
Too many TV projects get stuck between idea and execution. You know there’s something there, but can’t see why it won’t move forward.
The 7+7 Method fixes that. It’s a focused toolbox that takes you from a promising idea to a season that works.
Made for writers and professionals who already know story — and want the tools to create shows strong enough to last, sharp enough to matter, addictive enough to keep audiences coming back.
The Method
Here’s how the 7+7 Method works: two sevens — the first builds your concept, the second breaks your season.
Each stage comes with a practical tool to show you exactly where you are and whether you’re still on the right path.
Work through them all, and you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of how to write for television — and a project you can actually take out into the world.
The method becomes real in the workshops — here’s how.

Who is 7+7 method for?
Students at Film Schools
The 7+7 Method provides students with practical tools and a shared vocabulary, so they leave with a clearer sense of what the industry is really asking for.
For Writers from Other Backgrounds
If you’ve worked in film, theatre, or prose, TV can feel like a different planet. The 7+7 Method translates your existing skills into serial storytelling — without losing your voice.
For Industry Professionals
Producers, execs, and story editors use 7+7 to give sharper notes, avoid vague “I like/don’t like” feedback, and diagnose problems before a show gets lost in development hell.
Workshops — How they work?
Available online or in person. Every workshop uses writers’ room techniques, creative hacks, and the tricks I’ve learned or shamelessly stolen.

Adaptation / IP Workshop
Focused on the Craft of Adaptation
The 7+7 Method, applied to what the market wants most: adaptations. Novels, films, true stories, biographies, international formats.
This workshop looks at the principles behind every strong adaptation — what must stay, what can change, and how to balance loyal audiences with new ones.
It’s about developing the mindset to work with someone else’s material while still making it speak in your voice.

Character Workshop
Focused on Building a Series-Worthy Protagonist
The 7+7 Method, applied to the craft that decides whether a show survives: a protagonist built for longform storytelling.
We look at the principles behind a strong TV character — relatability, duality, the wound, and the way supporting roles echo or oppose the lead.
The goal is to shape characters who don’t just work in a pilot, but generate choices and conflict across a whole season and beyond.
