Q. What is the difference between a bible and the television business bible to submit to producers? Our writing community has been great supplying templates but it's to the point, they are all different. What is a writer to do for television?

Can you clarify the question?

What is the differences in the outline format for creating a television series bible (creative) as compared to a television series business bible?

Thank you, What is the differences in the outline format for creating a television series bible (creative)as compared to a television series business bible?

The Business bible, what I've been told, covers the tv series financial aspects and overview from pilot to completed season of 13 shows. As of today, I wrote a pilot and trying to determine, what's in an appropriate Bible to submit to a network. Thanks for your consideration...

I've never heard of a business bible, but it sounds suspiciously like a financing plan your producer would put together for the project...

Thank you, Peter. Great I can leave that for a Producer. What would be a table of contents for a TV Bible for drama with comedic elements for a pitch to Showtime, HBO, IFC any ideas?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'd love to see an example of the pitch materials for a show... Like, when you first pitched Naked Josh (or whatever) to a producer/network, what exactly did you send them?

Thanks for the great blog, Alex!
