Meet The Inaugural Class of the WGF Veterans Fellowship
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).
Donor Spotlight: WGFriends
One screenplay here at WGF that we keep going back to is Groundhog Day (written by Danny Rubin and Harold Ramis), which tells the story of a man living the same day over and over and over again. Coincidentally, here at WGF we have WGFriends, our monthly giving program where donors set up an automated, recurring gift and donate over and over and over again.
Monthly giving is an easy, yet impactful way to support the Writers Guild Foundation. Our WGFriends provide financial stability and ensure WGF’s success with each and every gift. This Groundhog Day, we’d like to give them an extra special “thank you” and share some of their favorite scripts.
