249 | Screenwriting & Social Media: How Being Online Can Help Your Career

By The Screenwriting Life

4:38 PM EDT on May 22, 2025

In this special roundtable, we’re joined by three working screenwriters — Nic Curcio, Kristen Tepper, and Julia Yorks — who have each built successful writing careers while also growing authentic, engaged followings online.We talk candidly about the growing pressure for writers to maintain a social media presence. From expanding your network to attracting opportunities, social media can help. But it can also complicate your creative process, affect your mental health, and make the work feel secondary.This conversation is an honest look at that tension — and how, with the right mindset, social media can become less of a burden and more of a creative outlet that reflects your voice, supports your goals, and connects you to a writing community in an often isolating industry.---------------Check out Nic, Kristen, and Julia's social accounts below...Nic CurcioInstagram: @nicolascurcio | TikTok: @nicolascurciowriterKristen TepperInstagram: @kristentepper | TikTok: @teppertoksJulia YorksInstagram: @juliayorks | TikTok: @juliayorks---------------Learn more about your ad choices.
