| CBS Diversity Institute Writers Mentoring Program | Updated November 17th, 2008 |
|
Application must be NOTARIZED, so cannot sent through WordHustler. See website for details. There are many different paths writers can follow to get their first foothold in being hired in television. As part of its ongoing commitment to create additional access for writers of diverse backgrounds, CBS' Diversity Institute has launched a different kind of writers program, which highlights one of those paths.

It is, instead, a structured program of career development, support, and personal access to executives and decision-making processes, with the goal of preparing aspiring writers for later employment opportunities in television.
