Meet Your Guide: A Screenwriter Who's Been Where You Are

Hi, I’m James Hurst, a professional screenwriter and a 25-year member of the Writers Guild of Canada. I've written 50+ produced episodes of TV for award winning series like Hardy Boys, Being Erica, Flashpoint, Degrassi: The Next Generation, The Listener, Wynonna Earp and more. 

I'm a 2011 Peabody Award winner, CSA Showrunner of the Year nominee, two time Gemini nominee, two time Canadian Screenwriting Award winner and five time nominee. I've worked for Netflix, Hulu, CBS, Fox, NBC, BBC America, Teen Nick, CBC, Bell and UKTV.  

I’ve been in the industry long enough to know what separates great scripts from forgettable ones — and I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to write a TV pilot from scratch.

That’s why I created Pilot Script Launchpad: to give aspiring TV writers a clear, structured, and fast-track system to get their pilot written.

Still on the Fence? I’ve Got You.

If other screenwriting courses have left you feeling frustrated or stuck, I want to make this decision completely risk-free for you.

🚀 Take 14 days to go through the first two weeks of lessons and start seeing your pilot take shape. If you don’t feel like you’re making real progress toward a script you’re excited to write, I’ll give you every penny back- no questions asked.

I’m confident that when you follow this process, you’ll be amazed at how much clarity and momentum you gain. You have nothing to lose and a script that could launch your TV writing career to gain.

🎬 By the End of Pilot Script Launchpad, You Will:

✅ Have a Complete TV Pilot Concept & Story
A detailed story outline that maps out your concept, theme, characters, and structure - so you’re ready to draft with confidence.

✅ Know Exactly What Makes a Pilot Work
You’ll understand how great pilots hook the audience, launch the series engine, and set up future episodes.

✅ Have Clarity and Confidence in Your Voice
You won’t just follow a formula - you’ll write something that feels uniquely you.

✅ Stand Out with Material That’s Built to Impress
Your pilot will hit the beats that matter while showcasing your originality and creative instincts.

✅ Be Ready to Take the Next Step in Your Writing Journey
Armed with a polished script and the confidence that comes from finishing it, you’re no longer “aspiring” - you’re doing.

Your Pilot Is Closer Than You Think.

Every great TV writer started with an idea and a blank page. The difference between those who stay stuck and those who make it? They take action.

Pilot Script Launchpad is your fast-track roadmap to get your pilot developed and ready to write—without overthinking, second-guessing, or getting lost in endless rewrites.

By the time you finish, you won’t just have a concept—you’ll have a solid, industry-ready foundation for a script you’re proud to share.

🚀 So get ready—because soon, you won’t just be “thinking” about writing a TV show. You’ll be doing it.

I can’t wait to see what you create.

Happy writing,
James
