I always have a blast when I talk with Akela Cooper. (as you will hear in the giggling throughout this episode. A Hollywood Writer and producer, Akela has written for “Marvel’s Luke Cage”, “American Horror Story”, “Malignant” and more! Currently, she is one of the Executive Producers on “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” on Paramount+.

If you are an aspiring writer in Hollywood, you will definitely want to listen to this one, because Akela breaks down what really goes down in writer’s rooms, and how you really have nothing to lose right now. Originally record for theblerdgurlLIVE, this discussion has been edited for clarity.

Akela Cooper is currently co-executive producer on “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds“
