DaDa has partnered with BBC Writersroom on an opportunity for local writers, and applications are now open!
Write Across Liverpool is an eight-week development programme designed to offer writers and creatives at the start of their writing careers an insight into writing for television and support them in the creation of an original series idea.
As well as DaDa, BBC Writersroom will be collaborating with other local organisations such as Liverpool Film Office, Everyman and Playhouse Theatres, Liverpool’s Royal Court, Unity Theatre, Writing on the Wall, 20 Stories High.
Up to 15 writers will be invited to take part in the programme which will run between May and June 2022 and will be primarily delivered over Zoom with some in-person sessions and workshops in Liverpool.
The programme is free to attend for successful applicants and costs of access requirements will be covered, as well as all reasonable travel costs. Bursaries are also available for childcare.
Who can apply?
Applicants should be over 18 and live full-time in the Liverpool City Region.
This opportunity is for writers and creatives who are at the beginning of their television writing career but show an interest and commitment to dramatic writing, alongside a creative track record.
Given the specific remit of this programme it will not be suitable for writers who already have a TV credit.
Deadline: 10 March.
