TOMORROW!!

Time to finally share: Back in January, my manager let me go. While it was amicable, I was too embarrassed to tell anyone. Felt like a failure. But since then, I wrote a well-received comedy sample, pitched a major studio who's reading me, & taught a workshop to 100 people. I think I'm doing okay.

Close to 100 people came to my writing workshop at Burbank Public Library on “Screenwriting Fundamentals for the Emerging Writer”. It was sincerely a joy speaking about writing to those coming up. Thank you to the @wgfoundation.bsky.social for recommending me. This was a blast!

I told a stranger at a party about a finished sci-fi script I gave up on. She loved the idea so much, she called over her husband & asked me to retell it. Both said they’d watch this show & insisted I revisit the script. Sometimes, your strongest advocate is a complete stranger.

Hi folks. I know things are tough for everyone right now so I hate to ask. I recently had surgery to get a tumor taken out - common procedure but it left me with pain that’s grounded me for the time being. With BTS work still incredibly scarce, I’ve just barely, barely gotten by. (1/3)

On Thursday, May 29th, we celebrate 3 years of MIRACLE MILE MIXER! Come celebrate with us, meet new writers, see old friends, & continue our monthly mission of lifting up our writing community. Open to professional & emerging writers. Hope to see you there!

Show cancellations will happen today & next week. Send your love to anyone affected, especially the assistants. Keep them in mind as they look for their next gig. It’s part of the business, but the hurt is still sharp when you find out. Be sure to reach out.

My #1 YA script is now being read at major YA studio. No manager. No agent. No platform. Just one pro writer's belief in me & their recommend to an exec. Might be something. Might not. But know there are multiple ways forward. It only takes one voice.

At an event last night, I had so many people come up to say “oh I know you from Twitter” or “I know you, you run that writer mixer!” So I wanted to come say thank you all for following me all these years. I just help where I can & you saying hello truly still means a lot to me.

I’m HONORED Burbank Public Library asked me to teach a workshop on turning an idea into a script (+ some industry intel & career navigating). If you haven’t written your first script yet, this is the workshop to attend & it’ll be a BLAST! Register here: burbank.libnet.info/event/13340438

Validation of your writing should have never been through a paywall. Read other writers. Tell your peers to read them. Spread the word on quality scripts & quality people. Yes, our emerging writer world is changing. But there is no better platform for us than our own voices.

🧵 Reflections on YOU: A thread! To celebrate the end of YOU (#YouNetflix to be clear, although you also deserve to be celebrated) I’m reflecting on all five seasons, which spans seven (!) years of my career. Not wholly, just fragments, things that stick out.

Hope to see ya tomorrow!

Our monthly writers mixer is back! MIRACLE MILE MIXER for Writers returns April 24th (6p-10p) @ All Season Brewery (Los Angeles). Open to all pro & emerging writers! Hope to see you there!

TONIGHT!

This week! Hope to see you there! Open to all film/tv writers, pro or emerging.

This week, I had the best general I’ve ever had in my life at Disney, and the next day got this email from a WGA writer after they read my multi-cam comedy. The work is paying off: I’m the closest I’ve ever been to having a solid comedy sample. What a wonderful week.

TONIGHT!

MIRACLE MILE MIXER is finally back this Thursday, February 27th (6p-10p)! Open to all pro & emerging writers! Excited to see you all on the last Thursday of the month for the rest of the year.

Happening now!

This Saturday @ 1p PST, we’re have our final Live Q&A or Black History Month with THE @alannabennett.bsky.social (producer of XO, KITTY). We’ll talk about her TV writing journey & her debut YA novel releasing in May. DM me for the link!

TONIGHT, I’m so excited to present our 2nd Black Writers Live Q&A with KARA LEE CORTHRON, Co-EP of the final season of Netflix’s YOU. She also wrote on SERVANT, THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT, & KINGS. DM me for a link to tonight’s chat.

Did Ryan Reynolds wake up this morning? Serious question. #SNL

We’re back. 5 years of mixers. Open to all writers. Hope to see you there.

We’re back. 5 years of mixers. Open to all writers. Hope to see you there.

One of us made it to the fellowship level. Congratulations to Rebekah! We are so fucking proud of you.

Tonight!

Jelena literally remains and continues to be the smartest person I know. This whole thread is brilliant.

This February, we’re doing a Live Q&A series with amazing black writers about their writer journey from an emerging to professional writer. So excited to bring HAKIM HILL (The Burbs), KARA LEE CORTHRON (YOU), & @alannabennett.bsky.social (XO, KITTY) to learn from their experiences. DM for the link!

The legendary YA show is coming back AND it’s run by THE Nora and Lilla Zuckerman?!?! We are NOT ready!! To say I can’t wait would be the understatement of the year.

Volunteering today, I heard from firefighters stopping the fires A New Yorker who flew in for a funeral & bc of the fires started volunteering A veteran who found community for the 1st time A 20 y.o. who came to drop off boxes & stayed 7 more hrs

So many have been volunteering since last Tuesday. Some need to return to their lives. Not because they want an escape to normalcy, but because they need to feed their families, pay the bills, and mentally rest. 1st shift needs a break. Who’s got next? Your city needs you.

It’s not hard to believe the people out here volunteering to help in LA are the same people who volunteered Day One of the WGA-SAG strikes.

Canada sent us aircrafts to fight the California fires when we were asking for Anne of Green Gables.

My deepest condolences to Aubrey Plaza and her entire family for her loss. If you or someone you know is struggling, please call 988. You are loved. You have value. You matter.

This was a very kind thing to say, thank you Dana.

DEADLINE IS TOMORROW! Please send me your thank messages for Jelena!

Hey all! This year marks Jelena's 5 years of care, love, & leadership in our community. As a small thank you, I'm creating a small booklet full of thanks from everyone. So DM me a small (or long) token of appreciation & I'll add it to the book she'll get this weekend. THANK YOU!
