Break Into Scriptwriting 
Do you want to write for TV?

If you dream of penning episodes of Coronation Street or River City; or have your very own script masterpiece you think commissioners would fight over, then this is the event for you.  This RTS Scotland writer’s event is aimed at budding TV writers keen to break into the world of TV drama. 

You’re invited to meet a brilliant panel of writers, who have written for some of the top dramas of recent years, and will share their experience and words of wisdom at this special event.

Following the discussion, attendees will be invited to network with the panel over drinks.
