Five great opportunities for Screenwriters

Updated: Jun 4, 2018

You know how they say you can wait at a bus stop for hours and then three buses come along all at once? Well, it seems like that for screenwriting opportunities too. Suddenly, the bleak emptiness that had wanabe writers howling for help, has started to warm up a little. There are people out there who want to read my stuff. Here are my top five opportunities of the moment!

Opportunities to get noticed as a writer throughout the year. A few talented people get taken on by the Beeb and have a chance to develop their writing skills and maybe find themselves credited on a programme!
