The 2025 Warner Bros. Discovery Access Writers Program provides a pathway for writers who face inherent barriers entering the episodic television writing space. Such barriers can be due to, but not limited to, race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, veterans status, socio-economic status or any other unintended barriers. Selected writers will undergo an extensive creative and business curriculum before being put up for staffing opportunities across WBD.
Applicants are eligible to apply if they've staffed on one or zero seasons of US network or streaming television shows.
All applicants must submit 2 original scripts. These two samples must be in the same genre (e.g. two drama scripts, two comedy scripts) and must be between 30 and 65 pages in length. The program is open to all those who are 18 years or older, live in the United States and have the right to work in the United States. Finalists will interview in February/March. All applicants will receive a status update by the end of March 2025.
Selected participants will need to be available to come to Los Angeles for in-person bootcamp weeks in March, April and June 2025, as well as attend virtual curriculum throughout the program, which will run throughout the spring/early summer of 2025. Dates are subject to change and travel costs for those located outside of Los Angeles will be covered by the program. Please note: this program is primarily virtual, but those who get staffed on television shows may need to relocate to undergo these WGA jobs in person.
This application portal will close on Sunday, October 27, 2024 at 11:59p PT. No late submissions will be accepted.
Please note: all submitted samples must be live action, original scripts, not spec scripts and not animation scripts.
