Perhaps you’re having a difficult time securing literary representation, or maybe your agent and manager aren’t able to land you the right meetings or writing assignments? Are you trying to take control of your writing career by pitching film and TV execs, but then run into the catch 22 of not having representation? Join us at our next event where represented writer, produced filmmaker, and career coach, Angela Marie Hutchinson, will share how to overcome rejection and create opportunities in 2019!
