Paper Team Mentorship IV – Staffing Update With Paul (PT147)

Alex and Nick catch up with their first mentee Paul Chang, recently staffed on a Disney animated series, to hear about what he’s been up to and get his perspective on being a new staff writer in television.

How do you prepare yourself for staffing opportunities? How do gauge which representation is right for you? Why is it important to celebrate all the wins? How do you deal with imposter’s syndrome? How do you stay present and useful in the writers’ room?
