After attending grad school at USC, Raamla landed a job as a writers’ PA on GREY’S ANATOMY. She went on to become a researcher on OFF THE MAP and SCANDAL.

She was also a writer on the upcoming ShondaLand show STILL STAR-CROSSED. read article

Stuff You Need to Know About Agents

How many of you think this is a writer? How many of you know this is an agent?

The first question most aspiring writers ask most post-aspiring writers is, “How do I get an agent?”

This indicates two things. First, of course, it shows that the aspiring writer doesn’t have an agent. But second, it also indicates that the aspiring writer probably doesn’t really know what an agent does, or why s/he needs one.
