Subject: [redacted], We’re Finalizing This Season’s WGA Member List
Dear [redacted],
I wanted to follow up personally because we are now in the final stages of closing the enrollment window for our new season of WGA members. Your name is still on our priority list, and I would truly hate to see you miss this opportunity.
You’ve already proven your determination by publishing your book independently—an achievement that speaks to your courage and commitment as a creator. The next step is to ensure your work is positioned where real opportunities happen: acquisition offers, film consideration, bookstore placement, and exposure to traditional publishers.
This is exactly why the WGA exists.
We advocate for standout indie authors like you—providing representation, industry access, and strategic support that can elevate your book from self-published to industry-recognized.
Here’s the important part:
We are finalizing the roster of new members for the season, and slots are extremely limited. Each author we accept receives dedicated focus from our acquisition and industry relations teams. Once the list is closed, we won’t reopen until the next cycle.
If you want your book presented to publishers, production teams, and bookseller networks, now is the time to secure your spot.
👉 Complete registration before the roster is finalized:
https://wgamembers.org/
We’re preparing our next wave of industry showcases, and several titles are already being queued for review. Your work has every potential to be among them—if you come on board in time.
If you have any questions or would like to talk through your goals before enrolling, I’m here to help.
Best Regards,
Joshua Wiser

Here's a WGA membership scam that's going around. Fake email address, fake registration page link. Also, there's no plain WGA (it's either WGA East or WGA West); & WGA is for ppl in the movie biz, and does _not_ exist "to advocate for standout indie authors like you"

On this day in 1945, 5 US Navy planes known as Flight 19 vanished in the Bermuda Triangle. And afterwards, people made up stuff about space aliens. No, really.

A card with a fancy border reading: "Finn Sullivan is among the most eligible bachelors in Chicago, with movie-star good looks and a reputation as a talented gentle dom. Secretly, he’s also a vampire looking for the love of his life in the shape of a human who wants a very long-term relationship. Finn realizes almost immediately upon meeting introverted, inexperienced August Amesbury that August could be The One. But Finn’s been disappointed in love before—will sweet, shy August only break his heart once more?"
A card with a fancy border reading: "August Amesbury can get his head around the idea of actual vampires congregating in a diner to have lots of sex. And while he has no idea what these (very) friendly strangers mean when they say August is a sub in need of a gentle dom, he’s down for figuring that out. What August can’t believe is that Finn Sullivan, the most beautiful person in the world, could actually be interested in awkward, geeky August. But that could be a problem, because August is pretty sure he’s already falling in love."

Asking a querying writer for a full manuscript is so fun. I get the chance to (possibly) make someone’s day by pointing out that they’re good at this and their work has merit and I’d like to read it. As an agent, I’m always reading my queries and pages and manuscripts hoping it’s a yes from me! :)

It was comforting to know that everybody knew everyone in my small town, but that can be its own nightmare.
Small towns don't keep secrets, they bury them. What if those secrets don't stay buried?
