How lucky are we to be a part of the golden age of TV?
There are so many excellent shows getting made - and so many talented writers writing on those shows - that it's kind of wild. We all have our favorites as fans, and we all have shows that we would love to write on. For TV writers, getting your start on someone else's show is the clearest path towards having your own show someday, but how do you get one of those spots in the room and be successful once you're there?
Join us for this webinar with Jess Carson to learn how to get (and keep) your first TV writing job!
This 60 Minute Webinar Will Cover:
- How do you know you're ready to staff?
- Building your portfolio
- Showrunner meetings
- Navigating your first room
Jess Carson is a Los Angeles-based Black writer/director who made her way into filmmaking in her hometown of Little Rock, AR by self-producing a number of short films within her local community through trial, error, and a sheer love of the craft.
In 2015, she decided to branch out to hone her skills in more saturated markets – first by way of Brooklyn, NY, where she was hired to write an Off-Broadway musical, ONLY HUMAN, and then settling in Los Angeles, CA in 2018.
Her work spans genres and her focus is on well-rounded, character-driven narratives that resonate with audiences of all demographics as well as those that put society under a lens via undertones of societal commentary.
Most recently, Jess was a writer on the CW's THE FLASH, from the end of season 6 until the end of the show's 9-season run. She is also polishing a wide range of projects and is actively developing a gritty, original TV show, DEAD RED. She is represented by managers Kegan Schell & Abigail Palmer at Navigation Media Group.
