Benioff and Weiss wrote their episodes jointly just one wrote the very first 50 % of the script with the other composing the 2nd half. Cogman, who wrote at minimum one episode for the first five seasons, was the only other author in the writers' space with Benioff and Weiss. Before Cogman's advertising, Vanessa Taylor-a author all through the next and third seasons-labored closely with Benioff and Weiss.
