More about the scheme

Over 6 months, you will benefit from expert industry training, mentoring and introductions to scripted drama production companies. You must be available to attend training days in Bristol once a month (expenses will be paid). Within 6-9 months of completing the scheme, submit a first draft script for feedback from Channel 4’s Drama Commissioning Editor, Gwawr Lloyd.

This scheme is targeted at emerging writers from the West and South West of England. You will build your skills, knowledge and networks to develop and write scripts reflecting the lived experience of people in this region, with a particular focus on diverse perspectives.
