The One About Networking?

Every writer wants the secret to career success. It's not only technique. It's not just connections. Those are important, but it's really about navigating what's INSIDE YOU. How do you manage the INTERNAL joys and challenges of living as a writer in TV and Film? You've learned how to put words on the page, but no one taught you to live the life of a writer through the ups and downs. On The Secret Writer Podcast, Nick Jobe and Steve Harper, writers, and script consultants/coaches, examine the "secret" inner world of the writing process for TV, film, and theater - offering strategies as a way to prepare you for a long and fruitful writing career.

In this episode, we discuss NETWORKING. What is it? Is it just asking for stuff? Is it being fake to manipulate people into hiring you or buying your work? Nick and Steve argue different perspectives on how it works and what it looks like. They also FINALLY answer what they mean when they use the terms "writing consultant" and "writing coach".
