WGGB Draft Guidelines for Screenwriters

Today, at the Cheltenham Screenwriters Festival, the Guild will launch Draft Guidelines for Screenwriters (pdf) and those working with them in the film industry.

Produced by the Guild's Film Committee following wide consultation, the Guidelines set out in straightforward language the functions, obligations and rights of all involved in getting a script from idea through to feature film.

You can read more about the Guidelines (and download them) on the Guild website, where Olivia Hetreed, the Film Committee Chair, explains how they came about.

  1. FROM THE CHAIR OF THE TV COMMITTEE

    Many congratulations to Olivia Hetreed and the entire Film Committee for this extraordinary piece of work. It will be of tremendous help to film writers everywhere, at every stage of their careers.

    Not to steal any of the Film Comm's well-deserved thunder but the Guild's TELEVISION GOOD PRACTICE GUIDE, the perfect companion piece, will also be available soon!
