Branding Yourself (PT86)
Paper Team - Een podcast door Alex Freedman & Nick Watson
Alex and Nick discuss the importance of branding yourself as a TV writer and ways to define why you write what you write.
Why should you "brand yourself"? How are you able to drive the conversation about you? How to understand what you can bring to a writers' room? Why is it important to know your strengths and weaknesses in TV? How do you translate your personal story into your writing? What are ways of showcasing yourself online?
Plus, an announcement about an announcement.
