The mission of the Writers Guild Foundation’s Veterans Writing Project is to identify emerging writers from United States military backgrounds and provide them with the tools and insights to nurture their passion for writing and successfully navigate the entertainment industry.
We do this in two phases over a yearlong program: A weekend-long retreat, and monthly follow-up workshops and special events. Each military veteran is paired with WGA members. Our writer-mentors represent some of the most beloved movies and television series of the past and present and are committed to guiding the voices of the future.
In Support of The Writers Guild Foundation
Since 1966, the Writers Guild Foundation has been the premier Hollywood resource for emerging writers and entertainment lovers. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, our mission is to preserve and promote the history and craft of writing for the screen.
Along with operating the Shavelson-Webb Library and Archives in Los Angeles, the Foundation hosts public events featuring notable TV and film writers as well as community outreach programs connecting writers with underserved communities.
