Check out this great blog post from Baseline Research on the demographics of 2010 TV pilot scripters. Author Neely Swanson is the former Senior Vice President of Development for David E. Kelley Productions and presently an adjunct professor at the USC School of Cinematic Arts in the writing division.
"Of the 66 pilots I documented, 13 pilots had at least one female writer as part of the “created by” team; however, of those 66 pilots, only 7 of them were written entirely by women. You can do the math yourself, but this works out to a high of 20% involvement by women when writing alone and/or with men; and just 11% when written by women without male participation."
