“Crush”, the movie I wrote with @KirstenKing_, comes out on Hulu in ONE MONTH and here’s the first sneak peek of it!!!!! Can you tell I’m excited!!!! Look how cute and queer it is!!!!

@AlannaBennett I’m still shaking

I’m not deep into astrology, but one time on a girls trip we did break up game teams into earth signs and fire signs, and baby…the fire signs did almost kill each other and also the rest of us

Nina is the most haunted creep writer I know and I mean that in the best way possible!!!! 🖤🎶💀

You know what's good? The movie CRUSH. You know what's even better? Getting PERSONALIZED FEEDBACK on your idea, OR outline, OR full script FROM THE ACTUAL SCREENWRITERS BEHIND CRUSH. Support WGA writers! Available at my website: alannabennett.com/store-1

Thanks to the best person in the biz (@AlannaBennett) I’m offering feedback on outlines as well as brainstorming sessions via her website!

I’m a showrunner who is very much for this and knows that there were thousands of survey responses from WGA members who did, in fact, ask for it.

@AlexOKeefe1994 Always looking for writing or brainstorming hangs!

Disney+ removed both seasons of a show I’d staffed on from the platform, ensuring that I’ll never make another dollar in residuals from it, or be able to watch it again. Mind you, the show gave them 11 Emmy Noms last year. What’s “realistic” about that?

This is a gay test.

So much talk during this strike about TV writer pay... but what about feature writers? Let's say you get hired to write a feature OWA (Open Writing Assignment.) Typically, OWAs are based on IP that the production company owns, so the guild minimum is ~$68K for the first draft.

today I saw a cover artist say she usually gets 12 book covers a year, and this year she got only 2. Now this game studio has kicked out all their artists and replaced with AI. We are losing our jobs in real time. You should 100% boycott any company using AI and pirate their IPs

Hey Apple: no more eps of your hit show about workers using collective action to fight back against an exploitative tech company until you give your real-life workers a fair deal. THANK YOU to the Teamsters and IATSE crew who honored our picket line! deadline.com/2023/05/writer…

These three writers shut down an entire production. IATSE crew refused to cross their picket line, so the producers couldn’t shoot, and sent everyone home. If just three WGA members standing together can do this, imagine how much power all 12,000 of us have! ✊🏻 #wgastrong

This is why we’re striking. The studios are trying to turn writing into a gig job. Eliminating the writers room, forcing screenwriters to work for free, paying late night writers a “day rate.” If we don’t fight back, writing will cease to exist as a livable career.

The pattern is obvious: The proposals that they refuse to engage with are the ones that would protect writers the most. That would protect us from being turned into gig workers they pay by the day. We are fighting for nothing less than the survival of writing as a viable career.

I'm incredibly proud of how transparent our union is. In the @WGAWest's strike announcement, we included a list of our proposals, and the AMPTP's responses. Read it for yourself: it explains in black and white we're forced to go on strike.

The Board of Directors of the @WGAwest and the Council of the @WGAeast, acting upon the authority granted to them by their memberships, have voted unanimously to call a strike, effective 12:01 AM, Tuesday, May 2.

Weeks in the writers’ room are being cut, writers can’t produce their own episodes, staff writers don’t get paid for scripts THEY WROTE, hiring of Black/POC writers is still low, residuals are shrinking… TV & film are changing and our compensation should be adjusted accordingly.
