“Under Mayor Bill de Blasio’s leadership, we’re opening doors to economic opportunity for all New Yorkers and building an economy inclusive of the vast diversity of our city,” said Gregg Bishop, Commissioner of the Department of Small Business Services. “Made in NY Writers Room is at the forefront of a citywide push to advance careers and it promotes the importance of diverse representation in the entertainment industry.”
The NYC Small Business Services department helps business, including minority and women-owned businesses (M/WBEs), earn City certification, compete for city contracts, receive legal services, learn government regulations, and assist with funding application.
"We are very pleased to continue this important work with the City to empower underrepresented writers to build successful careers in television," said Lowell Peterson, Executive Director of the Writers Guild of America, East. "The MINY Writers Room project offers the experience and commitment of WGAE members to talented New York writers and helps the City broaden and deepen the pool of storytellers ready and able to craft great shows here."
