Cindy Chupack is a multihyphenate -- a screenwriter, a director, an executive producer, a Golden Globe winner, an Emmy winner. She has written for iconic shows like Sex and the City (where I first became aware of her work -- she wrote more episodes of the show than almost anyone), Modern Family, Everybody Loves Raymond, Divorce, and so many more, and, for the past five years, she has been directing, as well. In addition to that -- and serving as an executive producer -- Cindy has written three books and is an advocate for writers emerging and established. I have wanted to go inside the writer's room of Sex and the City for 25 years, and today, we get to have a glimpse inside it. One of my favorite conversations to date!
Here are Cindy's three fantastic books:
The Between Boyfriends Book: A Collection of Cautiously Hopeful Essays
The Longest Date: Life as a Wife
We Waited for You: Now We're a Family
And here is a link to her website, where she is generous with tips for fellow writers:
