What's up, Creative Army!

I have been on the road, in the meetings, and on the phone with executives, producers, financiers, and buyers all year long. And every time I come back from one of those conversations, the same thing happens. I want to sit down with the creatives in this community, and I want to tell them everything I just heard, because so much of it is information that would genuinely change how they approach their careers if they only knew it.

So that is exactly what I am about to do.

On Wednesday, August 12th at 4:00 pm PT, I am hosting a live Ask Me Anything session over Zoom, inside the Stage 32 Writers' Room, and I am bringing all of it. What is selling. What is not. Who is buying. What executives are actually looking for right now, and what I am watching them pass on. Where the real opportunities are hiding for creators who know where to look.

This one is just for our Writers' Room members. And if you are not in yet, your first month is free, so you can be in the room with me for this one.

Start your free month right here.

What We Are Going to Get Into

Where the industry actually is right now, and where I believe it is heading over the next twelve months.

What executives, managers, and producers are genuinely looking for from writers today, based on the conversations I am having every week.

How to build a career that is sustainable, not just one that chases a single short-term win.

The business side of this business, because your craft alone will not carry you as far as you need to go. It never has.

And your questions. As many as we can possibly get through, with no topic off limits.

If you have missed my previous AMAs, you can catch up on them here.

I have said for years that the writers who move fastest in this industry are the ones who understand the business they are working inside of. This is a couple of hours where I hand you as much of that as I possibly can.

Come with your questions. I will bring the honest answers.

See you in the Writers' Room.

Let's go.

RB
