The Writers Guild Foundation has launched the WGF Veterans Fellowship, an 8-week mentorship program that provides educational resources, professional guidance, and career-building opportunities for alumni of the Foundation’s flagship program, the Veterans Writing Project.  

Six veterans have been selected to participate in the inaugural 2024 class: Brian McDevitt, Jr., Cathy Torres, Kadyn Michaels, Nicole Schwegman, Rylan Tuohy, and Tracy Thompson. Each fellow will be paired with a showrunner mentor, who will provide valuable feedback on their scripts and unique insights into the business of writing. This year’s mentors include Bill Wrubel (Ted Lasso), Desmond Moran (Tiny Beautiful Things), Jeremy Carver (Doom Patrol), Joy Kecken (Genius: MLK/X), Linda Gase (Dr. Death), and Maria Ferrari (Call Me Kat).
