Networking networking networking, all everyone ever talks about is networking. Everyone hates it, it can be pretty scary if you're not partiuclarly social, but it's very much the life blood of making it in this industry. So learning how to make it work for you is one of the most important skills you can build as a writer.
And you're in luck - in this very advice heavy episode, we're pulling together all of our (and some of our guest's) top tips on the best ways to work the room and meet people/build your network in a meaningful way. From how long to spend talking to each person, to how to approach a conversation, which faux pas to avoid and how long you should wait before following up. Plus a few bonus funny stories for good measure.
Always remember: Don't be a dick. Don't be a creep. Be chill baby.
