LB: Any Comic Book Writers/Artists Here Need an Agent?
Call Dave Olbrich and tell him I sent you. We’re old friends, and I’m very happy for him. This is a man who really knows his stuff.
(And you all know how I normally never recommend agents.)

An Insider’s View of TORCHWOOD – When It Lost Its Way, and How
Chris Chibnall is a British writer and producer who has written some of the best DOCTOR WHO episodes of 2012 (and who some of us here hope takes over as showrunner…soon). Starburst Magazine interviewed him recently, and we’ve snatched it up for you. Here. Now:

Love & Money Dept – TV Writing Deals for 3/1/13
Latest News About Writers Who Are Doing Better Than We Are
- Melissa Rosenberg (TWILIGHT) has signed on as showrunner for ABC’s drama, BIG THUNDER. (Which, since pilots don’t get “showrunners,” they get “Executive producers,” probably means the series, based on Disney’s (and therefore ABC’s) Big Thunder Mountain ride, is in the bag.)
- Tyler Perry (TYLER PERRRY’S HOUSE OF PAIN, etc. ) has shifted his TBS comedy, FOR BETTER OR WORSE, to OWN, which will own the first two seasons and also produce a second. (Which is what happens when a smart, rich writer buys a network, which for all practical purposes is what Perry has done.)
- Emily Spivey (UP ALL NIGHT) has made a deal to develop-write-produce series at 20th Century Fox TV, starting with the animated MURDER POLICE. (Which has to be in better shape than UP ALL NIGHT, which NBC seems to have totally destroyed because, well, probably because it could.)
- Kurt Sutter (SONS OF ANARCHY) & John Shiban (HELL ON WHEELS) are developing what FX calls “an action horror drama” for the network. (Which is fine by us because it can’t be any worse than the horror of Seth MacFarlane singing, dancing, and driving all the A List stars out of the Oscars audience last Sunday night.)
