The WGA Platform is an online hub for writers, showrunners, and executives to connect on jobs and development opportunities in features and television.
We’re embracing the potential of technology by allowing users to connect directly, putting the power in your hands.
Don’t be daunted by staffing season.
Staffing season doesn’t have to be a disorganized, free-for-all. Showrunners, post your staffing needs on the staffing submission system, then filter, organize and review submissions on the WGA Platform’s new streamlined interface.
Writers, take charge of your careers by submitting directly to shows that are hiring.
Tap into premium intel.
Knowledge is power. Writers can find out what’s going on in the job market without jumping through hoops. Executives can discover new talent or make long-sought-after connections without needing someone’s permission.
The WGA has a team of knowledgeable industry professionals dedicated to researching development opportunities and engaging users, so that profiles and submissions stay up-to-date. Crowdsourcing will add even more information - no tool is more comprehensive.
We are building on our success.
A year ago, writers had an ambitious idea to use technology to level the playing field in their industry. Since then, that idea has grown into a thriving hub.
