After nearly a decade of writing TV shows form The West Wing to Fringe, Josh Singer has become one of Hollywood's hottest writers writing screenplays for non-fiction films, including Spotlight, for which he is the favorite to win the Oscar with co-writer Tom McCarthy. How did he get here?  He talks to David Poland about the steps, the work, and the people who helped show him the way.
