Spec Script Formatting Primers

Even though the pandemic coincided with three fellowship seasons and we were closed from 2020-2022, the WGF library was able to provide remote assistance. We can’t send you scripts in their entirety. We aren’t the copyright holders and we don’t have the right to distribute them beyond the physical library. But for those people writing specs, we put together a series of blog posts that broke down the formatting of 125 TV shows from the WB Accepted Shows list and Nickelodeon list. Keep in mind, we don’t have EVERY show - this list was drawn from our library collection, which can be searched using our catalog. We hope these continue to be helpful in your writing process. We can be reached at library@wgfoundation.org if you have specific questions about a scene.

Below, you’ll find all of the shows we covered in 2020, 2021, and 2022 and the corresponding links.
