We have two exciting opportunities for creative writers and readers in our region!

We are on the lookout for exciting new voices and invite local writers to share their work with us via The Open Script Submission. Or, if you are interested in learning about the process behind reviewing the scripts that come in through The Open Script Submission Window then come and join us at the Script Report Writing Session.

Open Script Submission

The Open Script Submission is a chance for local writers to connect with us, to gain tailored support, advice and learning opportunities for those looking to develop their skills in scriptwriting. Applicants may be considered for one of our talent development opportunities, or be invited to meet an industry professional from our creative team to discuss your writing and ways in which we can support, develop or connect with other talented voices.

The application window opens on Monday 25 July 2022 at 10am and closes on Sunday 4 September 2022, with more information about how to submit a script available.

Script Report Writing Session

The Script Report Writing Session will explore the skill of report writing, the process of summarising and reviewing a script with the rest of the creative team. We’ll go through how much detail to give in a summary, what key elements to cover in an overview of the quality of the work, the difference between giving notes to a writer and notes to a future reader, what criteria we judge the work by and the final assessments we give a piece.

The application window to apply for this opens on Monday 18 July 2022 at 10am and closes on Monday 18 August 2022. The Script Report Writing Session takes place on Friday 2 September 2022.
