Background
The nonprofit Writers Guild Foundation was founded in 1966 by a group of prestigious film and television writers with a mission
to promote excellence and visibility in the craft of screenwriting and honor and preserve the work of the past. In reaching
these goals, the WGF operates the Shavelson-Webb Library and Archive and hosts speaker events, conferences, and mentorship
programs to support the next generation of emerging writers.
