Welcome to A TV Calling’s Script Library!
Whether you are an aspiring or professional TV writer, this mini-site is for you. One of the keys to understanding the craft of screenwriting is to read screenplays and educate yourself through their analysis. That is why I have created this online script library.
You will find here a lot of TV scripts, and occasionally a few pitches, outlines and bibles (not the religious kind).
Your job is to learn as much as you can from them. Tear them apart piece by piece, and build them back up. Understand what makes a character tick through dialogue and action. Analyze great structures and act breaks. In short, read and understand.
You can either search or explore our main script categories and tag cloud:
