E-Publishing: Self-Help for WGA Members
The WGAW Writers Education Committee (WEC) and Committee of Women Writers (CWW) present
E-PUBLISHING: SELF-HELP FOR WGA MEMBERS
A revolution is taking place. Writers and authors have found a viable writing career-sustaining outlet via e-publishing. Screen and TV writers are now permeating the market, discovering ways to create opportunities for
themselves and enhance their Hollywood careers.
Though the Guild does not cover book publication regardless of format, e-publishing can be an empowering stepping stone that can translate into Guild-covered work in adaptations for film, TV, new media, and transmedia.
In this panel, professionals will discuss the latest ebook/self- and indie-publishing developments, and how screenwriters are using e-publishing to rejuvenate their scripts. Members will also gain working knowledge of the free resources and tools necessary to e-publish and promote their own work.
WGA and Caucus members in good standing and a guest.
