ABSTRACT
“One of the most surprising things about being in a writer’s room is that there is so much more to it than just being a good writer and pitching great ideas. You’re working closely everyday with anywhere from four to 12 (or more) other writers who all have something important to contribute. It’s your job to not only fight for your own ideas but to be a supportive teammate to the other writers in the room. Learning to be an active listener and understanding what role you need to play to make the room work as efficiently as possible is key.” — Laura Kenar, staff writer, This is Us
