The WGA Platform and Find A Writer have been upgraded with new features to help feature, streaming, and television writers find job opportunities. The Platform includes Open Writing Assignments, Staffing Submission System, Request General Meetings, Interactive Pilot Listings, Literary Representation, Weekly Feature Memo, TV Development Memo and more.
Join WGAE Director of Communications Jason Gordon as he provides an overview of the Platform – which has had a lot of changes since it initially launched last Spring – and demonstrates effective ways to get the most out of your user experience.
The recent updates to the WGA Platform include:
- Mobile User Interface: The Platform now has a sleek mobile user interface, offering users full functionality from anywhere, and at any time, with ease.
- Custom Profile Manager: Control every aspect of your profile, including what’s visible on your public Find A Writer profile and your Platform profile, seen only by verified users. You can now show your full body of work, with the new ability to list unproduced, in development, and non-signatory credits.
- Enhanced Find a Writer: Search results have been redesigned to display as a full detailed resume, with comprehensive series and episode information. Representation data has been updated to include the franchised agencies, management companies, and law firms representing each writer, as well as their employees and other writer clientele.
As you work through the new features, please make sure to use the new Profile Manager to update your attributes related to work experience, availability, samples and references. Further, we strongly encourage you to update your contact and demographic information, which includes your preferred name and your agent or manager contact information.
