We are excited to announce that, in collaboration with John August, The Industry is hosting a virtual live event on how to build a screenwriting career.
​

John is the co-chair of the current WGA negotiations committee. He is also the host and founder of the popular Scriptnotes podcast, which he co-hosts with writer Craig Maizan (Chernobyl, The Last of Us).
​

In this exclusive virtual live event, John will share:
​

• His guiding principles for screenwriting.
• The biggest mistake screenwriters make selling their first script.
• How to get an agent or a manager in 2026.
• How to build a career in the industry as a screenwriter.
• How to transition from TV to Film or vice versa.
• How to maintain long-term relationships in the film industry.
• How to move from writing to directing.

​

The event will include a Q&A.
​

Please note: this workshop is likely to be super popular, and there are limited places.
