World Screenwriters Association
A Global Platform for the Art and Craft of Screenwriting
The World Screenwriters Association (WSA) operates under the World House of Cinema Artists (WHCA) as a global network dedicated to empowering screenwriters across all cultures and languages.
Our mission is to promote excellence in screenwriting, foster creative exchange, and connect writers with the international film industry.
Our Core Activities
International Workshops and Screenwriting Festivals
We organize professional workshops and annual festivals focused on screenwriting — offering members the opportunity to present their works, collaborate with peers, and learn from acclaimed international mentors.

The WSA publishes academic and professional journals, featuring interviews, analyses, and essays that explore the art, structure, and philosophy of screenwriting.
