What an amazing afternoon protesting with The Writers' Guild for #ScreenwritersEverywhere - a Global Day of Solidarity with Writers Guild of America West and Writers Guild of America East. Meeting old friends and making new ones, as we all stand for the same cause - fairness.

This Creative Diversity Network report confirms what we already know; that schemes don't work. Broadcasters, producers and commissioners need to actually engage under-respesented writers with REAL work opportunities. The talent is out there, there just needs to be the will to use it. #writers ✊

📢 WGGB, Netflix UK & Ireland and Personal Managers’ Association sign landmark deal on remuneration which will apply to UK writers on Netflix scripted live-action commissioned series Read the joint statement writersguild.org.uk/wggb-netflix-u…

I’ve received a massive amount of help from the WGGB, negotiating a somewhat gnarly option agreement over the course of nearly six months. I don’t have an agent and without the guild’s help I’d have been screwed. So I 100% recommend going to this, and becoming a member.
