Literature: Northern Writers’ Awards – Channel 4 Writing for Television and Radio Roadshow

Hosted by New Writing North in partnership with Channel 4

We’re more than delighted to be coming to Manchester for our Writing for Television and Radio Roadshow. This roadshow is for anyone interested in writing for screen or audio formats, no matter how much experience you may have. Speakers will include previous winners of our Writing for Television Awards, experienced writers and producers for TV, a representative from Arts Council England, and BBC Radio’s Sue Roberts. Tea and coffee will be provided but please bring your own lunch.

There will be a small number of spaces available for live pitching in front of an audience with feedback from a professional panel. If you’re interested in taking part in this, please complete the form here. You must have booked for the event to be allocated a live pitching slot. On the form, you will be asked to provide:

> A short synopsis of a work in progress
> 3 pages of script

The Northern Writers’ Awards are produced by New Writing North with support from Northumbria University, Arts Council England and a range of industry partners. The awards support work-in-progress by writers based in the North of England. You can apply for an award between 15 November 2018 and 7 February 2019. Find out more here.
