Veterans Fellowship

The Veterans Fellowship is an 8-week professional development program for U.S. military veterans on the cusp of breaking in as TV writers. Graduates exit the program with multiple polished samples, a refined self-pitch, experience in simulated writers’ rooms, a nuanced understanding of support roles and writers’ room etiquette, and more – all with the support of a dedicated showrunner-mentor.

Writers’ Access Support Staff Training Program

Graduates of the Writers’ Access Support Staff Training Program are uniquely qualified to take on roles as Writers’ Assistants or Script Coordinators. Backed by the support of some of television’s most prolific creators, our intensive 12-week course provides students with hands-on experience and industry insight equivalent to a full season in a professional writers' room.
