WGA’s Guide To Writing For TV

One of the cool things about writing for TV is the hierarchy built-in by the WGA. Unlike acting for instance, there are clearly-defined rungs on the way up to becoming a showrunner.

The WGA has a *great* resource detailing the different staffing positions, their salaries, and the specific responsibilities each job entails. Check out Writing for Episodic TV (it’s free) and you’ll not only get some great info but also some inspirational quotes from heavyweights like John Wells and Amy Lippman.
