Objective

The Warner Bros. Discovery Access Writers Program provides a pathway for writers seeking to enhance their skills in the episodic television writing space, learn about the business of television from executives and industry guests, and attend a master class on storytelling and collaborative creative writing.

Deadline/Entry Fees

Expired. Previous Deadline: 07/12/2026

Notification: Finalists will interview in Fall 2026. All applicants will receive a status update by the end of December 2026.

Eligibility

Applicants are eligible to apply if they've staffed on one or zero seasons of US network or streaming television shows. See website for details.

Rules

All applicants must submit 2 original samples. These two samples must be in the same genre (e.g. two drama scripts, two comedy scripts). The program is open to all those who are 18 years or older, live in the United States and have the right to work in the United States. Please see website for complete rules and guidelines.

Awards

Selected participants will need to be available to come to Los Angeles for in-person bootcamp weeks in January 2027 (plus addition TBD weeks in Q1 and Q2 2027) as well as attend virtual curriculum throughout the program, which will run throughout the winter/spring of 2027. Dates are subject to change and travel costs for those located outside of Los Angeles will be covered by the program. Please note: this program is primarily virtual, but those who get staffed on television shows may need to relocate to undergo these WGA jobs in person.
