Course programme

Got an idea for a new original TV series or serial? This course is intended for writers with some experience who want to develop a specific idea or script to completion for television. The course will be a supportive workshop environment, taking place over 5 sessions of 4 hours, spread over 5 months.
Over the course of five months (full day Saturdays) we will develop your script and programme bible. It isn't a course for beginners - you need to have some screenwriting practice under your belt and need to apply with two pieces of sample writing.
