Join Bad Wolf CEO Jane Tranter, Creative & Commercial Affairs Executive Emma Obank and screenwriter Marnie Dickens (Gold Digger, Wilderness) as they discuss what it takes to write a successful TV drama, as well as how to break through as a professional screenwriter.
Throughout the hour-long discussion and audience Q&A, they’ll be discussing where to start with an idea, how to approach agents, advice on how to pitch and a range of topics relating to the craft and business of screenwriting.

This RTS session will also allow anyone looking to apply to ask any additional questions regarding the scheme.
