What advice would you give for someone who has some scripts under their belt and looking to get their foot in the door in the biz?

Don't be afraid to put some of your stuff out there and reach out to anyone and everyone. I got my start by posting scripts on Twitter and Reddit and DM'ing writers I admired and managers who repped writers I admired.

You'll get 400 no's and 99% of people ignoring you but there are the people that will help you throughout your career. Jon Hurwitz who made Cobra Kai and Harold and Kumar responded to me when I was 21 and I still work with him 15 years later and he's been insanely supportive throughout my career. You never know who will like your stuff!
