Exclusive Invitation for Select Authors

You have been hand-picked to join one of the most respected writing organizations — now you can activate your membership via a streamlined, invite-only pathway.

A Selective Invitation for Distinguished Authors

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) has extended an exclusive invitation to a carefully curated group of authors. This initiative acknowledges exceptional storytelling talent, strong literary merit, and the potential for works adapted to screen or digital media.

Professional Pre-Screening & Selection

All invited authors have already undergone evaluation based on:

• Creative excellence and originality

• Adaptability to film, TV or multimedia formats

• Publication history or professional writing credentials

• Market and adaptation potential

Simplified Onboarding & Initiation

Once invited, authors can activate membership simply by confirming their intent and paying a one-time $2,500 initiation fee. No further credits or eligibility checks are required — the pre-screening is already complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the standard WGA membership route?

No. This is a special, invitation-only pathway — different from the typical credit-based screenwriting entry.

Why is only the initiation fee required?

Because eligible authors have already been vetted. The $2,500 fee is the only remaining requirement upon acceptance.

Am I obligated to write a screenplay?

No. While membership offers adaptation support, there is no requirement to produce screen content immediately.

How common are these invitations?

This is a rare, selective outreach — only a small group of authors receive this opportunity each cycle.

Will WGA protect my book if adapted?

Yes. Once a project qualifies under WGA coverage, members benefit from contract protections and guild oversight.
