RELAUNCH! Writers, Producers and Executives -- This Room Is For You

How to survive as a media professional in the age of AI

Mar 25, 2025

🎬 Welcome to The AI Writers’ Room

AI is already writing scripts, greenlighting projects, and driving creative decisions in Hollywood—and beyond.

If you’re not integrating AI into your creative process, you’re already falling behind.

The AI Writers’ Room is your go-to source for AI tools, creative workflows, and strategic insights that show exactly how AI is reshaping screenwriting, producing, and content development in TV, film, and digital media.

Whether you’re a writer, producer, or media executive, you already know: AI is transforming everything—from how stories are written to how audiences are reached, engaged, and monetized.

🚨 The Problem?

Most AI tools are built by people who’ve never written a script, run a show, or pitched a project.

They don’t understand storytelling—or how to build a creative career.

That’s where this newsletter comes in. Created by an industry veteran who works with AI every day, this is where creative professionals learn to use AI as a power tool—not a replacement.

✍️ What You’ll Learn Here

This newsletter delivers practical, actionable insights on how AI can elevate your creative voice—and your career.

You’ll discover how to:

• Write smarter using AI writing assistants that amplify—not replace—your storytelling.

• Own your audience and defend against the volatility of studios, streamers, and shifting platforms.

• Get paid by using AI to connect directly with fans, clients, and partners—and unlock new revenue streams.

📊 Coming Up Next:

This week, I’m publishing a survey of the AI tools most used by writers, producers, and development execs. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at where AI is already integrated into industry workflows—and where you can gain a competitive edge with smarter tools.

📬 What to Expect When You Subscribe

• Twice a week: Tactical, skimmable posts to help you write, pitch, produce, and develop with AI.

• Daily Notes: Fast takes, tool tips, and sharp insights on AI for media creators.

⏳ Why This Matters Right Now

This is your new creative toolkit.

AI is transforming the media industry faster than any strike, merger, or format shift ever has. If you’re not learning how to use these tools today, you risk being sidelined tomorrow.

👋 Who I Am

I’ve spent my career at the intersection of storytelling and technology:

• 📝 Emmy-winning writer for Late Night with David Letterman, Jon Stewart, Cheers, In Living Color, and countless awards shows.

• 📺 Creator of Best Week Ever (VH1) and the first Internet-voted awards show.

• 🧠 Head of TV at Twitter, with digital-forward projects at Disney Imagineers and Discovery Networks.

• 🏆 4 Emmy Awards, 7 nominations—I’ve seen this industry from all angles.

Now I work with AI every day, helping teams explore how these tools can empower creatives, not replace them. I bring a unique view of what’s happening—and what’s next.

At heart, I’m still a writer, producer, and executive—and this newsletter is for people like us.
