I know this isn't writing per se but there wasn't a lounge for this. I was just wondering about the process of getting hired as a script coordinator? I haven't come across training for this position and the reoccurring advice I've been given is work my way up from a PA or write a really good spec for an episode to impress the showrunner. I am Toronto based by the way - so 90% of the writers rooms for productions up here are in LA. Can anyone advise on this please? :)

Thank you :) Much appreciated. I'm hoping my Office PA experience will be of some use to gain this position

Definitely hustle, and you'll probably have to start low... think intern or PA, move to assistant if you can, and work your way into coordinating. You'll need to probably write a spec script for whichever show you're going after. If you're interested, I can see if Justin Schwartz (script Coordinator for FX/HBO, currently on BONES) can hop on a consultation call with you. Shoot me a DM.
Thank you Erik! Sent over a DM :)
