Their professional status depends on the quality and number of screenplays, teleplays, or stories which bear their names. The administration of an accurate and equitable system of determining credits is, therefore, one of the most important services the Guild performs for writers. We have provided the following credits forms and information for your convenience. If you have any questions, please read this FAQ, or contact the Credits Department at (323) 782-4528 or email: Credits. To learn more about how credits work, read these online WGAW credits manuals.
