EARLY CAREER PROGRAMS

NBC is proud of the existing diversity within the writing staffs of its Primetime Series. In order to further encourage diversity among our writing staffs, NBC provides funding for a diverse Staff Writer position, open to all scripted NBC Primetime Series. These positions are filled with writers selected and hired by the Showrunner/Producers of each show, with the guidance of the network and studio(s).

Many sources feed the pool from which these staff writers are selected, including agency submissions, fellowships and external writer programs. The NBC Diversity Initiative for Writers also provides writers the opportunity to be read and evaluated by NBC through the below application process, and this may open the door to a future relationship with NBC. Though submissions are read on an ongoing basis, positions are generally filled during the March - June staffing season.

If you would like to be considered, and have material for submission, please follow the steps listed below.

1. Send an email with your name and address to diversityinitiative@nbcuni.com. Please indicate in the email that you would like a copy of NBC's submission release form for the Diversity Initiative. You should receive a submission release form from the NBC legal department within a few weeks.

2. Complete, sign, and return the submission release form to the NBC legal department at the address provided to you.

3. Once the release has been approved by the NBC legal department, you will be contacted and informed of the proper procedure for submitting your material. If you have an agent and/or manager, your material MUST be submitted through them.

4. Once received, your material will be evaluated and you will be notified of any potential opportunities.

IMPORTANT:

Please be aware that there are a limited number of positions available, and that staffing selection is not solely determined via the above mentioned application process. If you are not hired by a show for the current season, or if these positions are filled prior to your material being considered, your information will be kept on file for up to six months for consideration in filling positions that may become available during that time. After six months have passed from the time you submitted your material, you may follow the steps above if you'd like to be considered again. NBC/Universal does not guarantee feedback and/or coverage on submitted material(s).
