The BBC Studios Writers’ Academy 2020
Deadline: Sun 19 Apr 2020
The BBC Studios Writers’ Academy gives writers the opportunity to learn from some of the biggest names in the industry, the chance to develop their skills on the BBC’s flagship shows (EastEnders, Casualty, Holby City, Doctors, and River City), and the opportunity to work with some of the UK’s best television drama production companies. In 2020, for the first time, the Writers’ Academy will be open to submissions from all writers, including those that have neither a professional commission, nor an agent.
The BBC Studios Writers’ Academy will give a minimum of eight writers a year's paid training, with guaranteed commissions on the BBC’s flagship shows as well as the chance to develop an original project with BBC Studios, or one of the BBC’s independent production partners.
The aim of the Academy is to give writers the screenwriting tools and creative confidence to write for the BBC’s flagship popular dramas as well as create stunning series of their own.
Selected writers must be available full-time from September 2020 – December 2020 for the teaching period in Elstree, and then part-time from January 2021 – December 2021, working from home with occasional script meetings in London or Cardiff.
All selected writers will then be under option for a period of up to 2 years after graduation, allowing BBC Studios and its independent partner companies to have first call on their writing services.
If you have a film, television, theatre, or radio drama script, and you’re passionate about writing for television, please apply!
