Have you got a cracking drama series concept but aren‘t sure of the first steps to get your idea realised?
Come and join writer Philip Palmer in conversation with BBC Script Editor Esther Springer as they discuss:
• Getting the material right - what makes a great TV drama?
• How to filter your ideas, write to best effect and improve your chances of getting a hearing.
• Is it possible to second guess the market?
• Should you write the whole series or just a treatment?
• Polishing your work and knowing when it is ready to be presented
• Agents – are you dead in the water without one?
• My screenplay is ready – now what?
• Who should you approach - and how?
• Etiquette and unwritten rules of engagement
• BBC or commercial networks … and who else is out there?
• Writer as salesman – what ‘products’ do you need to help sell your product and yourself?
• Someone is interested. What happens now……?
Listen to experienced voices as they discuss the journey from two viewpoints.
