EXCLUSIVE: The Writers Guild Foundation has announced the participants for the 2023 session of the Writers’ Access Support Staff Training Program
The 12-week course begins in mid-August and will be taught by instructors Debbie Ezer , who have extensive experience as writers’ assistants and script coordinators for television.
“I was proud to have been a part of launching the Writers’ Access Support Staff Program with writers/activists/superheroes Tanya Saracho and Liz Alper. I’m even more proud this year, when we find ourselves and our union fighting not just for better pay and working conditions, but the actual existence of our profession,” says program co-founder and WGF Board Member Mike Royce.
He added, “When we get back to work, it will be even more important to have trained and invested in a new generation of support staff, who will go on to be the future of writing, and for whom our fight will have won the gains necessary to support themselves and their families as they create incredible movies and television.”
In 2021, Saracho, Royce, and Alper partnered with WGF to launch this first-of-its-kind initiative to support the full inclusion and employment of underrepresented groups in the television industry. The program’s mission is to provide writers who are BIPOC, LGBTQ+, writers with disabilities, and writers over the age of 50, with tools and education to become a writers’ assistant and script coordinator, ultimately resulting in meaningful employment opportunities.
