Congratulations to Our 2026 TV Fellowship Winner, Lizzie Logan!

We’re thrilled to introduce our 2026 TV Fellowship winner, Lizzie Logan. Congratulations, Lizzie!

Her original comedy pilot, BAKER HIGH, impressed us with its quirky characters, quick witted humor, and big heart. In BAKER HIGH, during her first week of high school, brilliant but awkward Sari Lockwood pisses off the school mean girl, starts an investigation into drug test tampering on the baseball team, launches a detective business, gets on the principal’s watch list, and receives threatening anonymous notes in her locker. Coulda gone worse.

As the 2026 TV Fellowship winner, Lizzie wins a cash prize of $3,000 and a 12-month mentorship with two of our industry mentors, as well as free tuition and housing for this year’s retreat in Idyllwild, CA. She also receives a private advisory session at the retreat with all attending mentors, who include working Hollywood agents, managers, writers, producers, development executives and showrunners.

Lizzie Logan is an entertainment writer by day (Vulture, Glamour, Flood magazine, Bustle, HBO’s WHAT HAPPENED, BRITTANY MURPHY?) and a humor writer by night (McSweeney’s, The Onion, The New Yorker, Shouts and Murmurs, Reductress), whose iHeart Media podcast, HOAX!, recently wrapped its first season (available wherever you get your podcasts).

Raised in San Francisco, Lizzie was an only child of divorce whose hours spent immobile on the couch watching TBS often prompted her mother to say, “You better end up working in television to make all this worth it.” Accepting the challenge, Lizzie graduated from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts with a BFA in Dramatic Writing, winning the department award for undergraduate half-hour comedies and delivering the Tisch Salute speech.

She spent the next ten years nurturing her love of comedy as a student at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre and a writer/performer on sketch and improv teams. She also wrote and directed a micro-budget romantic comedy feature, PEOPLE PEOPLE, about an agoraphobic YouTube star, which premiered at the Ashland Independent Film Festival and won the Best Narrative Feature prize at the deadCenter Film Festival. She got her first official TV job as an executive assistant on Netflix’s THE BREAK WITH MICHELLE WOLF, and the experience confirmed that making great television for funny women is what she wants to do forever, or for as long as television is a thing.

Lizzie landed in Los Angeles three years ago and recently developed a female buddy comedy feature, SPIT SISTERS, for her former THE BREAK boss, Dan Powell of Irony Point. She is currently taking classes at the Groundlings School and can be found most days writing a pilot about a complicated woman who gets the guy in the end anyway. She is represented by Katie Newman at 3Arts.
