National Writers Series: Elwood Reid and Jai Franklin Sarki

Here at the National Writers Series, we usually showcase writers of books. Novels, non-fiction, whatever. But today, we’ll explore writing for a different platform: television. Elwood Reid and Jai Franklin Sarki both write for the TV show “Tracker,” which is broadcast on CBS. Elwood is the showrunner for the program, and Jai is its executive story editor. They both spoke with Doug Stanton at the City Opera House in Traverse City in May of 2026.
