What to Expect if You Move to LA
by Kathryn Graham
If you’re looking to be a television writer, you’ve probably thought about moving to Los Angeles. With its sunshine and its promise of a better tomorrow, it is still the world’s major hub for television and movies. The City of Angels is home to Hollywood, but also hosts a wide range of culture and taste. Space-age glass and metal skyscrapers rise beside adobe homes and modern castles. World famous landmarks stare at graffitied storefronts. It’s like Los Angeles has a perpetual identity crisis, and maybe it should. Its primary export is dreams, after all.
Here’s a few major points about LA that you may find helpful to know.
A Conversation with TV Writer Benjamin Cory Jones
One of the writers of Amazon Prime’s original series HAND OF GOD talks about how he got his career going. A must-read for newbs:

If you were a fly on the wall watching Benjamin Cory Jones work, it might seem like he’s got a pretty easy job.
A noted television writer with a slew of credits under his belt- the Amazon Prime original series Hand of God, starring Ron Perlman- being his most recent gig, Jones spends his days typing away at his computer. And that’s all you would typically see. “Nothing too laborious,” you might say. But what you’d be missing, and what you wouldn’t see is the enormous accountability that Jones takes on every time he bares his soul on the page, and the huge amount of power he yields.
Yes, with his team, consisting of director Anthony Hemingway (Red Tails), Anthony’s producing partner Mark Taylor and producer Lena Waithe (Dear White People), Jones is committed to changing the prevailing conversation taking place in the mainstream as well as behind closed doors about what it really is like to be an African American man in the United States.
Shut Up, I’m Writing!
There we were the other day, surfing for new sources of info and tips on writing, and along came Jeff Goins, author of The Art of Work and a blog that we got a hell of a lot out of and think y’all will too. Here, straight from the pages of Goins, Writer.Com is a sample of what we found:

My life is noisy. With three small children and a fourth having just arrived, it’s hard to find a quiet place to think at home.
At work, I lead a team of 12 people. There are always questions to answer, teammates to encourage, problems to solve. Often, writing is drowned out by the noise. Sometimes I just want to shout, “Shut up! I’m writing!”
Marc Alan Fishman: Dear DC Entertainment…
We know that BATMAN v SUPERMAN wasn’t a TV show, but the plain fact is that old (and some of us are positively ancient) comics fans that man of us TVWriter™ minions are, we can’t help but be fascinated by the total rejection of the film by just about everybody.
We acknowledge that the film’s been making a lot of money. Or, to put it more openly, that the film started out making a ton of money. But now it’s pretty much in the crapper in terms of potential earnings as well as critical and fan reception. We think it’s important to talk about here because, hey, TV writers and the execs who make our lives miserable give us the opportunity to do our thing aren’t perfect. It would be all to easy for us to fall into the same terrible trap.
So listen up, gang. Here it comes:
