You're Not Getting Staffed. Here's the Brutal Truth - and the Fix.

A former CBS Vice President and top literary manager who has launched writers onto Homeland, The Good Doctor, and Supergirl reveals what's actually keeping you out of the writer's room - and exactly what to do about it.

You will receive a Staffing Checklist handout to help you!

PLEASE NOTE: This exclusive Stage 32 webinar is now available to watch on-demand and no longer live.

You've written the scripts. You're putting in the work. Maybe you've even had a few meetings.

But you're still not staffed.

Here's what nobody tells you: most talented writers aren't rejected because their writing isn't good enough. They're rejected because they don't understand how the game is actually played. In today's market, a single show can receive 500+ submissions. The writers who get the job aren't always the best writers in the pile - they're the ones who understood the system.

That system is what this webinar is about.

Myra Model spent years as a Director and then Vice President at CBS Entertainment, overseeing more than 40 television projects. Today she runs Myra Model Management, where she has personally launched the careers of writers now staffed on HOMELAND, THE GOOD DOCTOR, SUPERGIRL, THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY, and more - including Sundance and Humanitas Prize winners. She is currently an Executive Producer on SUNNY NIGHTS, starring Will Forte and D'Arcy Carden.

She knows exactly who gets hired and why. More importantly, she knows the specific, fixable mistakes that keep talented writers stuck on the outside.

In this exclusive Stage 32 webinar, Myra is pulling back the curtain completely - sharing the insider staffing intelligence she uses every day to position her own clients for success. You'll walk away knowing precisely how to present yourself, your samples, and your voice so that producers, executives, and showrunners take notice.

This is the conversation that usually happens with insiders. You can get it now through Stage 32.
