Developing a Science Fiction Anthology Series

Hi All; I have been away sick with a cold but I'm back! I'm working hard on developing a sci fi anthology series. I've been writing and publishing in the genre for many years. But I need to flesh out a few ideas about how the premise works. Where is the best place here to do that? Thanks!

Maurice Vaughan

Hi, Ilanna Mandel. Welcome back. I found an article called "How to Write an Anthology Series & The BEST Anthology Series Examples" (https://industrialscripts.com/anthology-series/amp/).

Thanks this is most helpful but what I want is a back and forth with other writers.

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Ilanna Mandel.

Thanks everyone for your thoughtful responses. As a literary writer I was in a group for many years-we read and criticqued each other's work. I did that in a screenwriter's group in Vancouver some years ago. This project is based on my writing and studies as an anthropologist for six years. So, I'm thinking - post the idea here or wherever it's most appropriate and people can say what they think is working, what can be improved, etc. I agree with you, Jay, there are lot of amazing people here. I should also say the show is steeped in mythology and in a science fiction format.

If you're looking for material, I've written a feature length screenplay, "Epiphany". The concept could be adapted for a shorter format. It's near-future, relatively low-budget sci-fi.

Hey Wayne; I'm not in a position to purchase someone else's work I'm sorry. But I'm happy to sign an NDA to read it and share ideas?

What do you need help with? We all have different talent profile. I am a scientist. Do you need help with the science behind your story?

Ilanna Mandel

Hi Goran, Thanks for the kind offer. No, it's more the concept.
