Hey, Justin Groats. The Writers' Room is incredible! There's a lot of perks:
You can submit your scripts to Open Writing Assignments (OWAs). This explains the OWAs: https://support.stage32.com/hc/en-us/articles/8183283651732-What-is-an-O...
The Coverage Reports are every Monday. WR members read a member's script and write feedback on the script before the Coverage Report, then everyone gives their feedback during the Coverage Report.
There's an Executive Hour webcast every week where an executive comes in and talks about the industry, gives advice, etc.
Pitch Practice is every Thursday. You can sit in and listen to members practice their projects and give them feedback. You can pitch your project too, but you have to sit in and listen one or two times I think. And you have to sign up to pitch. It's been a while since I've been to the Pitch Practices, so things might've changed. I'll be back at the Pitch Practices though!
There's a weekly Pitch Tank in the Writers' Room.
There's also a Writers' Cafe different times throughout the week. The Writers' Cafe is like a writing accountability group/encouragement group.
The Writer's Toolkit. The toolkit has documents to help you on your screenwriting journey. Documents like scripts you can read, pitch decks, a query letter template, etc.
There's a private Lounge and exclusive events like AMAs.
And there are other WR perks (I'm copying and pasting from the "Frequently Asked Questions" section on the Writers' Room portal page):
10% off Stage 32 Coverage, Consultations, Contest entries
10% off Stage 32 Next Level Education Labs and Classes
Annual members receive 1 (one) free contest entry per year
Surprise Perks including Free webinars, discounted Pitch Sessions, and more! The savings that you’ll get on the services pays for the Writers’ Room membership! The more you utilize the Stage 32 services, the more valuable the membership becomes!
You can sign up for your first month of membership free here: www.stage32.com/writers-room/plans-vip

Maurice Vaughan already nailed it. :) The access to open writing assignments and exec webinars alone makes the cost worth it, in my opinion. Plus, there are discounts on things I'm going to buy throughout the year anyway, like script coverage and webinars. And yes: the team is always reaching out with extra perks. I haven't been disappointed yet. :)

It's one of those things where you get out what you put in. The Writer's Room has a ton of benefits, but you've got to lean into what's on offer.
