ABSTRACT
“Come to Hollywood. Go to as many parties and events as you can. Also, get the industry trades: Variety or The Hollywood Reporter. Know what’s going on in the business. Remember the names of people you read. These people will be at these parties and events. Talk to them with the knowledge you get from these trades. Compliment them. They will love you. They may remember you. They may hire you. Oh, and have a spec script or two in the wings that you can send them in case they ask.” — Emmy Award-winner John Frink, executive producer, The Simpsons
