About this listen

How do you become a television writer? What does it take to create your own show? Did the writers of Lost really have a plan, or were they making it all up as they went? In a career spanning far longer than he cares to admit, Javier Grillo-Marxuach has not only written for some of your favorite (and not-so-favorite) shows - from the Emmy Award-winning Lost, to Charmed, Medium, Law & Order: SVU, and seaQuest - but also worked as a network executive, created a comic book that became a cult television series, co-hosted a popular podcast, and contributed essays on the entertainment industry to such publications as The Los Angeles Review of Books, io9.com and Apex Magazine. Collected for the first time, Grillo-Marxuach's occasionally far-too-revealing essays offer a true insider's look into the good, the bad, and the frequently bat-guano insane inner workings of the entertainment industry. If you have ever wondered how shows actually get on the air, how it feels to win an Emmy Award, and why a grown man would have to swear off watching Star Wars for an entire year, then this irreverent collection is not only the book you want, it's also the book you need!

"Javier Grillo-Marxuach has a fearsome command of geek culture and a terrific grasp of what makes a great story. And that's what makes this book such a fun, illuminating read for fans and aspiring pros alike." (io9.com)
