Writers' Guilds
Writers' Guilds are professional organizations that represent writers in various fields, including film, television, and theater. They advocate for the rights and interests of their members, ensuring fair pay, working conditions, and creative control. These guilds also provide resources, networking opportunities, and support for writers at different stages of their careers.
One of the most well-known guilds is the Writers Guild of America (WGA), which has two main branches: WGA West and WGA East. Members of these guilds often benefit from collective bargaining agreements that help establish industry standards and protect their intellectual property rights.
