2011 DISNEY | ABC WRITING PROGRAM

 

2011 Writing Program
Created in 1990 in partnership with the Writers Guild of America West (WGAW), the Disney|ABC Writing Program is based in Los Angeles and is widely recognized as one of the entertainment industry’s most coveted writing programs. 

About the Television Writing Fellowship

Writers become employees of Disney | ABC Television Group and will be paid a weekly salary of $961.54 ($50,000.00 annualized) plus any applicable benefits for which they are eligible in accordance with the then-current Company benefits plans. The program is designed to expose aspiring writers to key executives, producers and literary representatives – all essential in the pursuit of a writing career. Additionally, while in the program, writers have the opportunity to work one-on-one with a current programming or development executive to create spec scripts of series from the current broadcast season. The ultimate goal is to prepare and nurture the writers for a professional writing career.
