We are the trade union for writers in TV, film, theatre, audio, books, poetry, comedy, animation and videogames – whether you are an established professional writer with credits, or at the very beginning of your career. We work to protect our members’ rights and campaign for a fairer industry (find out more about our work here).

• Free contract vetting and legal advice
• Access to the WGGB pension scheme (for professional screenwriters and audio writers)
• Free training, exclusive events and film screenings, plus a wide range of industry discounts
