While we're on the topic of AI and coverage reports, please check out our panel from the fall with Jalyce Mangum of @CopyrightOffice, @ToniLongEsq and writer Andrina Smith on "What to Know About AI in Screenwriting Contests and Coverage Services." youtube.com/watch?v=x9VldL…
We could not agree more and will be addressing this in a follow-up to our 2022 paper.

If you are or have been a reader for the Academy Nicholl, we’d love to hear from you. Or even if you’ve gone through the reader training program but did not stay on board. Please send us a DM!
Hi @TheAcademy ! We invite you to sign our Screenwriting Contest Transparency initiative and explore ways to take active steps in improving transparency and diversity with your reader pool, DEI training, and evaluation process! wocunite.org/screenwriting-…

Hey Writers! We are putting together another panel to discuss the role of AI in screenwriting contests, fellowships/labs, and coverage services. What kinds of questions do you have in this regard? (Comment, DM, or email transparency[at]wocunite[dot]com.) #screenwriting
@WOCTransparency One of the fears I have is that they will use the submissions to train AIs. Both for reading/judging purposes as well as producing scripts.
WRITERS: what concerns about AI do you have when submitting to contests/labs/fellowships?
Hey all! The WOCU website has been recently updated and there is a new link to our Screenwriting Contest Transparency initiative: wocunite.org/screenwriting-…
Another element worth adding into an organization’s Annual Transparency Report? Transparency and accountability is why we launched this initiative. Help spread the word and get more contests on board.

A week into the strike which means we’re a week late. We support the writers during this challenging but necessary time. Writers should be fairly compensated, be considered employees, and not have their work used to train AI, amongst many other things.

25K Followers 4K Following Founder&CEO @seedandspark. she/her Co-creator @FckYesSeries.Maybe @Slamdance should join other orgs that have taken the Screenwriting Contest Transparency pledge @WOCTransparency
So, I wrote a TV show script about Black kids waking up demigods and fighting supernatural army, and this reader had something to say. When I say I’m appalled? Like damn. Art is subjective, and I get that. But who did I piss off at @Slamdance ? Wish I can get my money back.…
@WOCTransparency I understand AI checkers - for evaluations and scripts - aren’t infallible but at least a pass through one would be some reassurance. Also, for companies with a significant revenue, professional people to do random audits.
Screenwriters need transparency and accountability re AI from contests & script services. What measures are in place? Do readers sign contracts? Are evaluations put through AI checkers? Are random samples given to professional AI checkers? @WOCTransparency @WGAWest @WGAEast
Today, I would like to call for transparency from all SCREENWRITING CONTESTS and SCRIPT-READING services regarding the use of AI to evaluate material. No writer supplies their work with the intention of feeding a machine that’s designed to replace humans.
And here we go! #TheGreyList24 is live and open to explore! 48 writers, 2 special guests, and a ton of amazing, market-ready scripts! It's truly an honor to spotlight these writers. We hope you love it as much as we do! Experience The Grey List Now: bit.ly/48sHSF7

Re blind reads: If most readers were trained primarily by reading scripts written by Asian/BIPOC and 90% readers were Asian/BIPOC, 50% of readers were women, would the results be the same? No one can give a blind read. Training and unconscious bias impacts all reads.
@PhoenixBlackNow @TheAcademy I don't see the issue. Everyone is complaining about the lack of diversity, and yet I see middle-aged white guy with a hat, middle-aged white guy with hair, and bald middle-aged white guy.
These are excellent writers and excellent scripts. No question about talent. This picture was NOT put together by The Academy. It brings attention to representation from largest to smallest demographics. There 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 be a discussion about reader bias and training.
@JoeBiancoAuthor @NGDWrites @TheAcademy It’s just done largest to smallest demographic. But do I think AAPI and BIPOC people (& people with disabilities & NB and queer) get pushed to the bottom corner of the industry? Do I think women have the weight of a predominantly white male industry upon their shoulders? 💯

Congratulations to the Academy Nicholl 2023: 9 men and 4 women finalists 97 men and 43 women semi finalists @TheAcademy
@franklinleonard @aldopisano @LisaLueyLutes Disappointing to see you insinuate someone who has raised concerns is making up that industry people are loving her script. You're using your position of power to demean and belittle an emerging writer.
@BlkAssFeminist Is it my imagination or is he pushing back on Black women more than any other group telling their experiences?
@BlkAssFeminist We tried to convince him to sign the screenwriting contest/sites white paper members of @wocuniteorg wrote. Check it out @WOCTransparency
We're hosting another panel as part of our Screenwriting Contest Transparency initiative this Thursday, Nov. 9! Hope you can make it.
THE FINE PRINT: What to Know About AI in Screenwriting Contests & Coverage Services We're hosting a @wocuniteorg panel this Thurs. Nov. 9, 11:30 AM PT/2:30 PM ET about protections and disclosures writers should seek from contests regarding AI. Register: bit.ly/WOCU-AI
@viadear @WOCTransparency Thanks, Via! The comments weren’t part of a competition but if it’d still be helpful to you, happy to connect! 🙂
Holy fucking shit my screenplay about Asian women and therapy is a Nicholl quarterfinalist 😭😭 this same draft got feedback not too long ago that “all the women are the same” so just a reminder that it’s all subjective and please please keep going ❤️😭
@WOCTransparency (What Manon said.)
@WOCTransparency Very much concerned, esp considering the widespread lack of transparency, lack of pay for readers, etc. Why would they, if their business doesn't decrease no matter what practices they use? I'm at the end of submitting to these things, and trust very few.
