That's exactly what happened to today's guest, Julia Yorks, writer of the 2024 Black List script The 7 Guys You Date Before Marriage, about a newly single woman diving back into the dating pool after the collapse of a ten-year relationship. Here's the twist: that exact heartbreak happened to her between the first and second drafts. She's been remarkably open about it, chronicling the whole thing for her 75K+ followers across social media. But this isn't just a story about heartbreak; Julia just sold the project to Sony. Find out how she turned tears into a sale in today's interview.
