We’re excited to welcome career coach Lee Jessup, for an intensive workshop on how to forge your path as a professional writer for film, television and new media.

Whether you’re a beginner screenwriter looking for representation, or an emerging professional seeking to build career momentum, navigating the industry can feel overwhelming and, oftentimes, demoralizing.

Over the course of four weekly sessions, we’ll cover the industry landscape and the realities of working in today’s feature and TV industries: building your brand and a body of work; developing content pedigree; honing your meeting skills; building your team (including representation); developing industry relationships; breaking in and working your way up in television; and learning to set effective goals.

All participants will be expected to create their own personal logline and narrative to be delivered as a two-minute pitch during the workshop – you will pitching yourself, not a project.

Class takes place each Monday, July 18 through August 8. All sessions are live online via Zoom. Space is limited, and the workshop is expected to sell out.
