406: KELLY EDWARDS - The Executive Chair
In this episode, Hilliard, Lynelle and Tracy chop it up with writer and former TV executive, Kelly Edwards to talk about her rise from assistant to casting, to executive, to producer… and then, years later, how she reinvented herself as a screenwriter after hiding this secret for decades. A few months into 2020, Kelly sat down and wrote the amazing book THE EXECUTIVE CHAIR - A Writers Guide to TV Series Development and soon after, staffed on the Fox series Our Kind of People with Showrunner Karin Gist!
Kelly’s book is a must read or (Audible) book for aspiring writers and young execs trying to gain a foot in the industry. Her book is filled with inside baseball kinds of stories from an executive POV that are designed to help writers and filmmakers have a better understanding of how execs think, how to find value in your personal story, how to learn industry ropes, how to manage yourself in development, how to pitch with your personal story, how to better position yourself for success and so much more!
