  2. Showrunner Sessions with Anna Konkle
Showrunner Sessions is our ongoing event series dedicated to answering the question: What exactly does a showrunner do? Along with being the head writer, they are also executive producers responsible for just about everything in a television show’s set. Learn how current showrunners landed the gig, how they approach their jobs, and how they navigate the ever-changing TV industry.

In Support of The Writers Guild Foundation
Founded in 1966, the Writers Guild Foundation is the premier resource for emerging writers and movie and TV lovers in Hollywood. Boasting a busy calendar of high-value events and a vast, seemingly bottomless toolbox for writers, the Foundation is unmatched in its mission to promote and preserve the craft, history, and voices of screen storytelling.  A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we’re proud of all we do for the community, including our Veterans Writing Project and our Writers' Access Support Staff Training Program, our Volunteer and Mentorship Programs, our Archive, and the Shavelson-Webb Library – the world’s only library devoted entirely to writing for the screen.
