The Nickelodeon Writing Program is a television scriptwriting fellowship run by Nickelodeon to discover and develop diverse comedic writing talent. Founded in 2000, it serves as a training pipeline into the network’s animated and live-action shows, helping emerging writers launch professional television careers.

The program’s primary goal is to prepare writers for staffing positions on Nickelodeon series. Graduates often transition into writers’ rooms for animated and live-action programs such as SpongeBob SquarePants, The Loud House, and Henry Danger. Alumni have also gone on to work in broader television comedy and streaming projects beyond Nickelodeon.

Application period: TBD
