The 'Greenlight Yourself' Movement

Hey all - I wrote an article examining why waiting for studios/networks to greenlight our projects doesn't work anymore. The data shows audiences are rapidly shifting to new platforms, while traditional opportunities shrink.

Some key points:

• Why the writers' assistant → staff writer pipeline is effectively dead
• How the market has fundamentally changed post-strikes
• Why creators need to start making their own content
• Data showing where audiences are actually spending their time

No selling anything - just sharing research and insights I wish I'd understood earlier in my career. Full piece here: https://hownot.substack.com/p/greenlight-yourself-part-1-the-new?r=6v7vr

Would welcome your thoughts, especially from those who've successfully made the transition to creating their own opportunities.
