Hollywood University
by JevanThis is another gem that I found while browsing Alex Epstein’s excellent blog.
Hollywood University is a blog run by TV writer Jessica Butler. As she puts it on her site, “Hollywood University was launched to provide aspiring scriptwriters with the practical information and resources needed to successfully pursue a career in television. Posts include interviews with and recommendations from industry professionals and address the FAQs of novice scriptwriters.”
I spent a couple of hours last night pouring over the site, and wow. There are some great bits of information and resources to be found on there! She covers a ton of stuff — from sharing some of her own experiences in the industry, basics like formatting scripts and writing query letters, to ideas on breaking into the industry and networking. She even has resources for writers thinking about relocating to LA or New York.
I definitely recommend spending some time perusing the site.
