Why am I writing this?
I created this site and wrote my book Breaking into TV Writing to demystify the TV writing industry.
What is a PA job? What does a writers' assistant do? What is it like to sit in a writers' room all day? What jobs will help me progress? What jobs will hold me back?
This is everything I wish I knew before entering the TV writing business. If you have no clout, no connections, even if you haven't written anything before, this blog is for you.
