The Guild's Poetic Screenwriters Lab, with Final Draft as a partner, pairs youth poets with industry mentors.

“The Writers Guild Foundation is proud to support rising voices in the industry by partnering with like-minded nonprofits such as Get Lit,” said Writers Guild Foundation executive director Katie Buckland in a statement. “The Poetic Screenwriters Lab is an impressive intersection between learning the fundamentals of craft and the business of writing for the screen.”

During the first year of the program, students learn the essentials of screenwriting while also developing the first draft of a pilot, feature or narrative podcast. In the second year, they will be connected for six months with an entertainment industry screenwriter and/or showrunner who will help them take that draft to a final script. “The mentors aren’t giving general advice,” explains Curtis.
