WG Festival

WGFestival is a two-day writing conference hosted by The Writers Guild Foundation, in partnership with the Academy Education and Nicholl Fellowship Programs.

Through keynote panels, workshops, and special events, our goal is to create an interactive and educational experience for emerging and working writers in film and television.

Now in its fourth year, WGFestival’s unique focus on the craft and business of writing draws the industry’s top talents and a highly engaged, sophisticated audience.

Myself, Lorraine DeGraffenreidt and Dwana White led the Script Coordinator Bootcamp. We educated curious minds about what it means to work in the writers room. It was great, fast AND inspiring.

For more information about the WGFestival, it’s a public event open to anyone who is interested in writing for the screen. All proceeds benefit the Writers Guild Foundation's Library, Archives, and community outreach programs such as the Veterans Writing Project, Visiting Writers Program, and Volunteer & Mentorship Program.
