Welcome to Episode 51! Very stoked to have screenwriter and producer on the hit ABC series, ABBOTT ELEMENTARY, back on the show. In this episode, we talk about writing on Season 5 of Abbott, the ways in which her view of writing for television has evolved over these 5 seasons, and much more! Lots of great nuggets of wisdom in here for aspiring television writers. Hope you enjoy the episode!

Joya McCrory is a comedy writer from Detroit who likes to tell sneakily heartfelt stories full of weird humor about identity and figuring out one’s place in the world. Joya is a graduate of the University of Michigan, where she received a Summer Hopwood fiction award for her collection of short stories. She also studied screenwriting at UCLA. She is an alum of the 2021 Warner Bros. Television Workshop, where she was one of three comedy writers. She is currently a Writer/Producer on the award-winning show, ABBOTT ELEMENTARY (ABC). She would like it be known that she usually doesn’t refer to herself in the third person.

Watch ABBOTT ELEMENTARY Wednesday nights on ABC, or the next day on Hulu!
