Book Synopsis
The old screenwriting motto is, “Work on your script, and the jobs will come.” This is false.

A great script is only as good as the effort you put into your career, but there is little information for the aspiring screenwriter about how to break in. Even those who study TV or film in college are taught to simply “get a production assistant job.” But then what? And how do you get that job to begin with?

Breaking into TV Writing contains all the crucial information left out of most screenwriting books, like:

  • How to get your first job in TV
  • What TV writing samples you need
  • How to break into the elusive TV writers’ room
  • How a writers’ room creates an episode of TV
  • Which assistant jobs are worth your time (and which you should avoid at all costs)
Anton Schettini provides a rare insider’s glimpse of the modern-day network and streaming TV writers’ room. Here
