As a writer, story and ideas always came easy, the formatting was the first big challenge, then the drilling down to basics. An OWA sounds like an ideal situation for a writer to have a career as a writer. I landed many Journalism jobs and commercial directing jobs in a similar way, granted, not as much was on the line, but I certainly had to pitch my style and technique. OWA, seems like the Holier Grail of that process, to be offered that opportunity, as with the commercial work, makes you feel ALIVE, even when you don't get the gig or it's not right for you. As long as the phone is ringing and the emails are flowing, you might be doing something right.
I’ve been fortunate to have worked two OWAs without representation. Both experiences were fantastic and educational. I realize I could do so much more if I had a manager. The search continues.
This doesn't sound too dissimilar from publishing, when authors "audition" to write for specific IP. Fascinating look at the process!
Makes sense! I'm sure there are many similarities. Glad you're enjoying :)
Brilliant tutorial. Such valuable information. Keep bringing it.much appreciated!
