For me, as I’m sure it did for you, it all started with a laptop, free screenwriting software, and a dream: to be a professional television writer.
In my last semester of NYU Tisch’s dramatic writing program, my writing partner and I were selected for the 2017 HBO Access Writer’s Fellowship. Throughout the next several years, we went on to staff on several shows, including LEGACIES on The CW, FIRST KILL on Netflix, ME on Apple TV+, HEELS on STARZ, AVERAGE JOE on BET+, and most recently, FBI on CBS. From how to excel in a writer’s room to workshopping scripts, let me share what I’ve learned so you’re prepared for the next step in your professional journey.
