ABSTRACT
“Ideally, you can write your way in. Television is a hungry script monster that needs new product every hour of every day. In television, the writer is king . . . and rich. If you have a personality that is a force of nature and an ego that is rock-solid and don’t mind hearing no, then become a producer. If you are good at critiquing and/or selling things, try becoming a TV agent . . . or selling houses. No matter which way you choose, it will be an uphill climb. If it was easy, everyone would do it. Work hard, believe in yourself . . . oh, and work hard. You make your own luck.” — Emmy nominee Peter Jankowski, president and chief operating officer, Wolf Entertainment, executive producer, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Chicago Med, Chicago P.D., Chicago Fire FBI: Most Wanted
