WGA?

You can't simply join the WGA unless you've met their qualifications. And registering your screenplays with them is not a "must", it is entirely voluntary and by no means a requirement.
How much value you would get from membership depends upon your career goals. The discount on the registration of materials is not really worth the cost of membership unless you register a crapload of manuscripts every year.

"Join" the WGA?
Who do I have to Kill?
You have to make a sale to a WGA signatory to get in.
And yeah-- it's worth it.
I have yet to get in, and yet 3 years ago they (and others) had my back when I (and many other) TV writers, and unproduced pro quality TV writers came up against the wall of age discrimination.
There was a $70 million dollar suit, and we won!
