Writing Television Drama with Jenny Lecoat
Thu 2 Feb 2012 to Thu 12 Apr 2012
Always wanted to write a cracking television drama but don’t know where to begin?
Always wanted to write a cracking television drama but don’t know where to begin? Do
you have great story ideas, but don’t know how to translate them to the small screen?
Then this is the course for you.

Get to grips with the tools you need to write a successful television drama series
– creating a world, character building, story structure – and write your own script,
supported by an experienced professional writer.

This 11-week course is designed to help you find and develop your own story and
explore the art of screenwriting, plus there’s opportunities to see professional actors
improvise with your ideas and perform a reading of the finished product – along with
tips on how to pitch and sell it.

Jenny Lecoat is a professional television comedy and drama writer with seventeen years experience. She has written for Eastenders, The Catherine Tate Show, Holby City, Birds of a Feather and Tracey Beaker and worked as a drama consultant and writer for foreign television companies.
