Jane the Virgin Writer Merigan Mulhern

From Agent's Assistant to Series Creator (Sort of)

You've heard the story: start out as an intern, become an agent's assistant, then a production assistant, a writer's assistant, staff writer (in this case, on Jane the Virgin), and eventually, create your own show.

Well, Merigan Mulhern lived it. Get advice from a young, talented writer who came to Hollywood with no connections and eventually sold a pilot that... almost got produced. In 2020. (You might be able to guess the twist ending on this one.)

This episode is brought to you by The Anonymous Production Assistant. The theme music was written and performed by Daniel Clingman.

If you’d rather watch than listen to the interview, it’s available on our YouTube channel.
