What are radio producers looking for in a writer? How do the two work together? What are the joys and challenges of writing for radio?
These are just some of the subjects to be debated at a special Writers’ Guild of Great Britain (WGGB) event on Thursday 21 April 2016 by speakers including Sally Avens, Marc Beeby and Nick Briggs.
Sally Avens has been working as a director and producer in radio drama since 1990. She was executive producer for the Friday Play and also for comedy drama on Radio 4.
Marc Beeby is a radio producer for the BBC, whose work includes the fantasy series Pilgrim.
Nicholas Briggs is co-executive producer of Big Finish Productions, best-known for its Dr Who range of audio plays.
The event is open to anyone with an interest in writing for radio drama and is free to WGGB
members (tickets for non-members are £10 / £5 concessions, plus a small ticket-handling
fee paid to Eventbrite).
Meet the Radio Drama Producers takes place on Thursday 21 April 2016 at the St Alban’s Centre, Leigh Place, Baldwins Gardens, London EC1N 7AB. The event runs from 7-10pm and entry includes a free drink afterwards.
