Our guest today is playwright-turned-screenwriter, Bixby Elliot. If you are curious about making the move from one creative endeavour to another, then this is the episode for you! We chat about the transition from writing for the stage to writing for the screen.

We discuss graduate schools and MFAs in writing. If you want to apply for Julliard’s playwriting program, have at it.  This is the UCLA screenwriting program Saeed attended. 

We also talk about working jobs outside of writing and how the skills you garner working in the corporate or retail world can benefit your writing career.
