Write the script. Land the Job. Get into the writers' room.
Hello!
I'm Anton, a TV and film screenwriter, producer and author.
​
I've worked in 14 TV writers' rooms, written for several TV comedies on CBS and was an Executive Producer on Snap, an anthology drama on AMC Networks. See how I got my start here.
I'm also the author of Breaking Into TV Writing, a career guide to becoming a TV writer, out now from Turner Publishing.
