About This Podcast
🎬 Writing is the invisible art that looks easy to most, but is super complicated behind the scenes. We are here to show you behind the veil. What happens in the trenches of story writing.
Our first 3 episodes feature general writing advice. After that, we dive into writing an original TV, comedic, pilot. Season 1 culminates in a table read with actors!
