Does anyone know where I could find information about the demographics of TV or movie writers and/or showrunners in 2012/2013?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Between that and the 250-lb dog, best afternoon I've had in a while.
Excellent!
I am a hot mess and basically ready to go to bed. Not sure why.
I also enjoy raisins.
