I like your tagline of "writing TV shows that get made." It connects that book to the screenwriting book.

The only one I might add is "CRAFTY TV WRITING: Ignoring the odds and writing TV shows that get made."

That, becuase from everything I've read, TV is even harder to break into than screenwriting.

'Small Screen' too negative, marketing backlash, nothing 'small' about TV. And "that get made" is just a copycat of 'Crafty Screenwriting', makes it look like you just lifted half the material from the original book and made it TV centric. But on the flipside might be good and consistent, and the TV writer types, might not have picked up your first book. And avoid 'first' or 'career', looks generic job development how-to.
