PAGE Award Winning TV Writer Hired by CBS
Janet Lin, winner of the 2005 PAGE Silver Prize for her TV Drama pilot FUTURE PERFECT, has been signed by Gersh and is working on a new Warner Bros./CBS series. Janet writes:
“I’m now a staff writer on the CBS show WATERFRONT, about a colorful mayor in Providence (played by Joey Pants). I’m repped by Gersh. Met them early in the year, got sent on meetings in early spring, then was staffed by May. Amazing, eh?! I still can’t believe it.”
