What exactly is Chanel & Row's (un)professional Chronicles?
Chanel & Row’s is a conversational blog between two
writers 3,000 miles away with the same undertaking: breaking into the
entertainment industry to become working
writers. Aside from this colossal task,
they also share in the joys and pains that come with being female, gay
minorities – and 30-something (closer to 30)!
Sometimes tragic, sometimes humorous but always real, these women offer
each other advice, push each other to reach her dream goal and hopefully create
honest art in the process.
How:
We write our Letters
Every Tuesday an Initial Letter (IL) and a Response Letter (RL) are posted on the LETTERS page. Chanel and Row alternate with their initial and response letter posts.
You read our Letters
It should go without saying, but we will say it: the IL should be read first in order to understand the RL. Of course, you can approach the blog however you so fancy. It is merely our STRONG suggestion that you read it in order!

Who is Chanel?
I am a renegade lawyer who has the audacity to believe
change from within the ‘system’ is a lost cause, and art as a tool for
advocacy, or at least an avenue for dispelling stereotypes, is more effective. The core of my work explores what happens when people of
color, particularly youth, have a dream stolen. Stolen by parents. Stolen by
society. Stolen by a materially harmful stereotype… I hail from most
American cities. Really. I have lived in too many places to name I would lose
your interest, but most recently I have found dual residences in Athens, Ohio,
where I am finishing up an MFA Playwriting degree, and Philadelphia, PA, where
I am slowly and probably creepily infiltrating on the Philly theatre community. My most famous quote and motto (in the
eyes of the only one that matters: my brother): Trust the journey!
Who is Row?
Rowena Pedrena is a Gaysian writer living in Los Angeles by way of New York City. Newly minted with an MFA Film degree that means absolutely nothing in Hollywood- she’s currently on the hunt for steady and fulfilling work while padding her time with odd jobs and assistantships. With a keen observational eye for the wildly ironic and moronic Rowena strives to edify through humor and continually point out that in fact common sense ain’t that common.
