Development girl

A development girl or D-girl is a derogatory Hollywood nickname for non-influential, entry-level staff members in a film production company.[1] Responsibilities include finding and identifying story ideas worthy of adaptation into a script and writing script coverage for scripts submitted to the production company.[2][3] The job title is gender neutral - according to Los Angeles Times probably a quarter of d-girls are men - but reflects the sexism and gender inequality in Hollywood.[4]
