Details: 1ST DRAFT: TV DRAMA.

Writers arrive with an idea and leave with an industry ready first draft of a pilot. One day a month over six months of supervision by an industry professional and peer critique. From December 2nd.

Suitable participants should have a premise for a TV drama series. As participants will be developing a long-form script some screenwriting experience is desirable. Places are limited.

1ST DRAFT: TV DRAMA will be taught by KATHARINE WAY. Katharine Way has been a commissioned writer of TV drama since 1994 and has written for many of the top-rating UK programmes: The Bill, Casualty, Doctors and five different soaps including Eastenders and Emmerdale. One of her Bill episodes was turned into a children’s novel for Puffin books and one of her Casualty episodes attracted a bomb threat (luckily, not carried out). She is now developing a number of original projects for TV and radio including a mini-series about religious fundamentalism and a children’s drama. Katharine is also Chair of the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain (as of May 2006), and involved in negotiating on writers’ pay and conditions and future uses of their work. She ran Feedback, the first script reading service in the country, for eight years and teaches screenwriting at de Montfort, Sheffield Hallam, Bournemouth and the City Universities, the London Film School and for the NPA .
