About this listen
“It was the craziest overnight five-year success story ever.” —Leigh Dunlap
Leigh Dunlap went to film school at the University of Southern California to study screenwriting, which led her to a job selling socks at Fred Segal and eventually to an assistant’s desk at a Hollywood talent agency. That’s where she really learned how to write—while reading hundreds of scripts sent in for actors. Her first screenplay, A Cinderella Story, with Hilary Duff, was made by Warner Brothers. Since then, Leigh has written two other movies (The Standoff and 16-Love) that were produced. Bless Your Heart is her debut novel.
Among other things, Leigh and Carter discuss gaining experience by working at a talent agency, changes in writing during the pandemic, and writing scripts versus novels. At the end of their conversation, they make up a brief story using a line from Michelle Jabes Corpora’s His Face is the Sun.
