Just a friendly reminder that none of the network writing fellowships in Hollywood consider disability “diverse”
We’re also ineligible to be a “diversity hire” even if it’s a TV show about a disabled person.
Maybe related?? Only 0.7% of TV writers are disabled

Add the fact that “going the assistant route” isn’t an option if you can’t drag lunch for 20 people/your showrunner’s dry cleaning/a week of room snacks to the 4th floor writers room in a building with no elevator and it’s a miracle we ever break in
