0
Fresh off her Top 10 placement in the 2018 Launch Pad Pilots Competition for her hilarious sitcom THE VALUE SHOPPING NETWORK, Meg Favreau has signed with Sarah Dodge of Industry Entertainment.
Described as 30 Rock meets Superstore, THE VALUE SHOPPING NETWORK follows a type-A journalist who is forced to take on a job hosting on a failing home shopping network after accidentally setting her news studio on fire and becoming a viral sensation. Our readers singled the pilot out as a classic workplace sitcom in a unique, uproarious setting. The laughs come a mile a minute, while the fantastic protagonist and quirky ensemble cast make the series feel like home in the best way.
Meg is a comedy writer who has worked on multiple narrative series and sketch comedy shows, including three series that she created and wrote for the digital studio Brat. Her most recent series, the high school dramedy Total Eclipse, explores the fantasy worlds of teen girls and has received over 1 million views an episode. Meg has also written for Warner Brothers’ animated series Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz, punched up scripts for a forthcoming Hasbro action-comedy series, and written sketches for various digital studios and creators. Meg’s humor pieces, essays, and weird history articles have appeared in publications including The New Yorker, McSweeney’s, MEL Magazine, and Someecards; and her humorous cookbook Little Old Lady Recipes was published by Quirk Books in 2011. Her scripts have placed in several notable screenwriting contests including the WeScreenplay Diverse Voices contest and the Austin Film Festival.
With this signing, Meg joins over 370 writers who have found representation through the Launch Pad Competitions since they began in 2013.
