About this listen

While TV is prevalent in most of our lives, few of us have much knowledge of its behind-the-scenes operations. In this riveting expose, veteran writer and producer Ian Gurvitz illuminates a side of the business few people get to see. Drawing on notes from his personal journal, Gurvitz details two years in the dizzying ups-and-downs life of a Hollywood television writer— the pitch meetings, the table readings, the rewrites, the studios, the networks, and the executives who make all the decisions. "Hello," Lied the Agent is a corrosively funny insider's look at what being a television writer is really all about.
