Hollywood Writers Report

Commissioned by the WGAW, the Hollywood Writers Report provides an update on the progress of women, minority, and older writers on the employment and earnings fronts in both film and television.

What We Do

The department works with industry personnel to develop access and talent development programs and also hosts events, panels, and seminars to promote a more positive image of historically underemployed writers, to increase the industry's awareness of the unique obstacles often faced by these writers, and to encourage positive change in hiring practices.
