In this presentation, award-winning comedy writer Diana Frances will give a brief overview of her own career path and will answer questions such as: Can I get TV work without an agent? What kind of experience and content do you need to get an agent? What happens once I get an agent? Now that you’re in a room, what the heck do you do/don’t do? How do you make yourself invaluable? What are common mistakes? How to build a reputation that will help you get your next gig.
