From Writers' Neighborhood to Writers' Room: Alumni Share Their Journeys

Are you an emerging writer looking to break into children’s media? Join us for an exclusive virtual webinar where alumni of the Fred Rogers Productions Writers’ Neighborhood share how this transformative program helped launch their careers. Brandea Turner, program director, will moderate the discussion featuring Jorge Aguirre, head writer and co-executive producer of Alma’s Way, and three former fellows. Hear firsthand from past participants about their experiences learning from writers, story editors, and producers working on children’s series currently produced by Fred Rogers Productions for PBS KIDS - and find out where their journeys have taken them. Discover what it takes to build and sustain a writing career in children’s media — and how programs like the Fred Rogers Productions Writers' Neighborhood can be your first step before the 2025 application window closes. Come ready to learn, get inspired, and ask your burning questions!
