Part 2: The Staffing and Development Hustle - My Journey to TV Land

During this session, I’ll open up about my journey as a playwright/poet/prose writer moving into the TV realm, what it’s like to staff a network show, as well as the hustle of development and taking all manner of meetings — general, showrunner or staffing-related, etc. A substantial audience Q&A will follow the talk.

Christina Quintana (CQ) will be teaching two classes on TV Writing. The first will be on Monday, April 12th at 7pm-8:30pm EST, and the second on Monday April 19th at 7-8:30-pm EST. Both will be on Zoom. You can take either class separately, or both!
