NEW - 2010-2011 Writer Access Project Guidelines
The Diversity Department of the Writers Guild of America, West is pleased to announce the honorees for the 2010 WGAW Writer Access Project, a program designed to identify excellent, diverse writers with television staffing experience.
Qualified WGAW members were invited to submit their work in one of five diversity categories: minority writers; writers with disabilities; women writers; writers age 55 and over; and gay and lesbian writers.
The scripts were read and scored on a blind submission basis by WGAW members with extensive television writing experience, including current and former showrunners and writer/producers. 103 WGA members participated as judges in two rounds of judging. The overall response to the project from participants and from judges has been overwhelmingly positive.
Below you will find a list of the 2010 Writer Access Project honorees with their bios and contact information as well as their spec scripts and original pilots (divided into comedy and drama categories). We hope it will be of benefit to you during staffing season. Many writers have additional samples available – please contact writers or their representatives to obtain them.
You will also find a list of the 2009 Writer Access Project honorees for your consideration – with links to their spec scripts and original pilots.
For a complete list of credits for any of the writers, please contact the writers directly or the WGAW Credits Department at (323) 782-4528.
The WGAW Diversity Department welcomes your thoughts and comments on the work you read and any suggestions for improvements to the Writer Access Project in the future – you can contact us at: Diversity.
Many thanks for your consideration.
Best,
Kimberly Myers
