Thanks to John August, I discovered Craig Mazin’s The Artful Writer, one of the most interesting and fearless blogs around about the business of screenwriting…or, more accurately, the issues being discussed among the various factions of the Writers Guild of America. While I don’t always agree with the views expressed on the site, I am enjoying the lively debates… and learning some things along the way.
In recent days, they’ve tackled the influence of rarely-employed members on Guild policy, the pros and cons of listing all contributing writers in movie credits, and the conflict between WGAw and WGAe.
If you’re a member of the WGA, or curious about the issues facing professional screenwriters, I urge you to check out the site.
