Kaitlin Saltzman – Editor

A seasoned television executive bringing story development skills to a new space.

Overview

I'm a seasoned producer and television executive of almost a decade, with a number of sold scripts under my belt in Hollywood. While TV and books are certainly different forms of entertainment, a good story is a good story; and I'm a good storyteller.

I can work in a number of different ways, but skill set I bring is a keen eye for the best and most effective way to tell a story. If you're looking for the following, I'm your girl:

- Character development

- Plot development

- Marketplace considerations

- Film/ TV adaptability

I was Head of Scripted Programming at a celebrity-led production company with a first-look deal at CBS Studios for over six years. There, I built a slate focused on underrepresented voices and stories. During my tenure there, I sold over a dozen projects to a variety of networks and streamers, including one with a full season order of scripts, one with an order of two additional scripts, and one with an order of one additional script. I also got almost two dozen more set up with various studios.

I was a Coordinator in Comedy and Drama Development at CBS, where I worked on shows such as SCORPION, MOM, THE MILLERS, PURE GENIUS, LIFE IN PIECES, MACGYVER, BULL, THE ODD COUPLE, and MADAM SECRETARY. I also worked extensively with the writers of the CBS Diversity Showcase, mentoring more than 100 writers in the program.
