TV Jobs: How could working in TV help my writing career? (with Michelle Githua)
Description
We've talked about industry jobs in the past, but never on this level - despite being our youngest guest ever, Michelle Githua might also be one of our most decorated, with countless schemes, industry jobs and a writers room under her belt already (at the ripe old age of 23!).
Kicking off her career at 18 on a TV entry scheme, Michelle had an incredible run of work in the offices of Shiny Button, Hat Trick and Firebird before heading straight into the writers room on 50 Cent's new boxing drama Fightland for STARZ. Yes we're all jealous, but there's a lot to learn here, as Michelle takes us into the weeds of how working in TV not only helped her jump straight to success, but helped her understand herself and her voice as a writer too.
So get ready for a deep dive into the industry and a true masterclass in how to speedrun a career in UK TV!
