About Colby Day

Hi there, I’m Colby Day. I’m a writer, director, and occasional producer for film, television, and theater. But the thing I’m probably best known for is my annual post “My Year as a Working Screenwriter,” a detailed breakdown of the trials and tribulations and day to day busywork of the life of a working writer, which I’ve been writing since 2021.
That piece (and 2022, and 2023, and 2024) along with my simple article on “How Did You Get a Manager and How Can I Do That? ” have continued to draw in new readers year after year, which made me think that it might be useful to try to create a publication to demystify the professional screenwriting process one week at a time.
This newsletter isn’t a class or a lecture, it’s just a peek behind the curtain of my personal artistic (and professional) process.
