#WRITEINCLUSION FACTSHEETS

As professional TV writers, we understand the immense power we wield with our narratives. The stories and characters we create impact popular culture narratives, entertain audiences, and change minds. That is why we’ve partnered with social justice researchers and organizations to produce #WriteInclusion Factsheets: Tips for Authentic Representation. Our highly vetted and research driven one-pagers help storytellers craft non-stereotypical representations about historically excluded characters and stories, and are designed as a tool to guide storytellers away from harmful stereotypes and call in more inclusive, authentic narratives.

This work transforms the expertise of community leaders and researchers – such as Storyline Partners, ACLU, the Geena Davis Institute, GLAAD, and more – into easily accessible guidance for storytellers. While factsheets could never capture every experience, nuance, or truth of every community, they can assist in changing the way we tell stories in entertainment. Consider them the starting point of the conversation.

Additional factsheets will be released on a rolling basis.
