I am grateful for research assistance from John Sirjord. Part II of this article draws on Catherine L. Fisk, Writing for Hire: Unions, Hollywood, and Madison Avenue (Harvard Univ. Press 2016). Part III draws on interviews I conducted with thirty-two writers and three executives in Los Angeles from August 2013 to February 2016, research described in more length in Catherine L. Fisk & Michael Szalay, Story Work: Non-Proprietary Autonomy and Contemporary Television Writing, Television & New Media (2016).
