We at the WGF may have hit a pause on our live events, but thanks to technology, we’re aiming to provide more access to advice and knowledge from film and TV writers while we’re all social distancing. Over the last few months, we’ve been hosting free Zoom panels about craft and all things relevant to writers.

• The economics of faith-based markets

• Differences producing and marketing Christian, Jewish and Muslim faith-based content

• ...and more!
