The Writers Guild refers to professional organizations that represent writers in the film, television, and digital media industries. These guilds advocate for writers' rights, negotiate contracts, and provide resources for their members. They aim to ensure fair compensation and working conditions for writers. One of the most prominent organizations is the Writers Guild of America (WGA), which has two main branches: the WGA East and the WGA West. The WGA plays a crucial role in protecting intellectual property and promoting the interests of writers, helping to shape the landscape of the entertainment industry.
