Knowing when to stand up and back yourself as a writer is tricky business, especially when our chances to connect with producers and agents and people who can actually move our careers are few and far between. Too early, and neither you, nor your work will be ready, but wait too long and you might miss your shot. Which is why this week we're sitting down with close friend, former development assistant and script editor, and fellow New Writers Collective alumnus Olivia Ababio, for a properly varied chat about her journey, her (incredibly successful) run of writing schemes, and when she knew it was time to start seriously mapping out her career as a writer.


If you want to follow her career, Olivia's @oliviaababio on Instagram, and yes, we totally see the irony in calling this episode 'Timing', when Olivia is famously *always* late.
