Hello and welcome to the 49 Degrees North Spotlight, a look back at classic episodes from the 49 Degrees North writers podcast about Canadian writers and the business of writing.

In this episode, I spoke with Paul Birkett (Drone) about how he built a career writing films. We also go on a deep dive into writing process and discuss how to define “a beat.”

Paul is an incredibly inspiring creator, who has managed to carve out a writing career despite the ups and downs that come with working in the entertainment business. If you’re a writer who occasionally feels demoralized and depressed about the state of the industry, then this conversation will inject you with a healthy dose of positivity and self-belief!
