The WGAWest debuted an enhanced online staffing and development platform to connect writers directly with showrunners, producers, and executives
The Writers Guild of America on Thursday debuted an enhanced online staffing and development platform to connect writers directly with showrunners, producers, and executives. The revamped platform features upgraded capabilities and an improved user experience to help writers find jobs, the guild said.
The platform features writer, producer, and executive profile pages; in-platform messaging; a television staffing submission system; a board for posting and submitting to open writing assignments; and lists of spec and pilot ideas. The platform also provides access to jobs for new talent and writers from underrepresented communities.
“We started working on these enhancements well before the Covid-19 pandemic turned our industry upside down,” said WGAW board member Luvh Rakhe. “The upgraded platform will be a resource for members to stay connected even as we must physically separate. Down the road, we hope this contributes to the industry’s recovery because the work of writers will be critical to that.”
Thirteen hundred executives and producers have created accounts, and more than 200 series showrunners have used the platform's Staffing Submission System to post job openings, resulting in more than 12,000 submissions from writers. In addition, 140 open writing assignments have been posted, generating 2,100 submissions from writers.
Agency sources have expressed skepticism about the platform, not surprisingly. The guild did not say how many writers have actually been hired as a result of the system, but WGA West president David Goodman
