Donor Spotlight - Veterans Writing Project Group Nine
The Veterans Writing Project is WGF’s year-long screenwriting program where military veterans learn how to write a screenplay and navigate the entertainment industry. How do they learn these screenwriting fundamentals? Through guidance and mentorship from WGA member mentors!
This past spring after the conclusion of the 2024-25 cohort, Bret Murphy, Ernesto Haibi, Mary Jo McConnell, Ryan Murtha, and Scott Wagner (a.k.a. “Group Nine”) decided to donate to WGF in honor of their mentors. In their own words, these vets share how they worked together throughout the program, key takeaways from their mentors’ wisdom, and why tribute gifts were the perfect way to tell their mentors “thank you”.

Encouragement
My name is Lauren O'Connor — and I'm the writer behind many of the library-related blog posts and resources that you utilize on this website. In constructing these resources, I try to listen to the questions and concerns we get from patrons in the library. I try to meet the screenwriting community where its needs are in a given moment.
