WGA Script Registration: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Protect your creative work by establishing a formal record of when your script was written using this registration service.
This service allows writers to create a formal record of their work to establish when a specific script or special was created.
Who it's for
This is designed for writers of scripts or specials who want to document their creative output.
What you get
By registering, you receive official proof of the creation date for your writing. This provides a timestamped record that your work existed in its current form on a specific day.
What it costs you
There is a small fee for this service, typically ranging from $10 to $20 per script.
The catch to know
It is important to understand that this is not the same as legal copyright. This service provides a timestamp to prove when you wrote the work, but it does not grant you copyright protection.
How to apply
- Visit the official registration website.
- Prepare your script or special in a digital format.
- Follow the prompts to submit your work and pay the required fee.
- Save your confirmation for your records.
