Hello, I need help. I am a non-WGA writer who is repped by a big-4 agency in the TV Lit department. I am not yet in the WGA because I am newer to this world, currently being submitted for staffing season right now. My big-4 agent has sent my work to showrunners and networks and I have meetings lined up for shows in the coming weeks.
BUT - Friday night WGA writers were told to fire agents at agencies who did not sign on to the new Agency Code of Conduct/ Working Rule 23.
As a non-WGA writer who will join the WGA once I sign on to my first staffing position, should I tell my agent to stop submitting me for things? Will I look like a scab if this big-4 person submits me even though I am not in the guild? Advice from WGA people would be fabulous!
And, if you are in my boat (non-WGA writer repped by a non-complying agency, trying to get that first staffing gig), feel free to DM me to commiserate.
