The Hollywood Assistant
The only newsletter by Hollywood assistants, catered to Hollywood assistants.
Assistants are the backbone of the biz. Cathy Campo founded THA to bring us together; Co-Editors-in-Chief Natalie Lifson and Lucy Stover run THA to build community, increase accessibility, and fight for equity in entry-level entertainment from coast-to-coast. Read on for interviews, tips, industry buzz, and more– all brief enough to consume between pings with your boss!
