WRITER LIFE HACKS: BBC WRITER'S ROOM

WRITER LIFE HACK: BBC WRITER'S ROOM

I really cannot recommend the BBC's Writer's Room enough; it truly is a one stop noticeboard for aspiring writers across the world. The BBC has always prided itself on attracting the best but this section of the BBC website truly out does itself with it's resources.

• SEND YOUR SCRIPT
• The BBC accepts scripts. Formerly, it had an open policy towards scripts, but it has now opted for a more scheduled and structured period setting, where it will announce it's acceptance seasons. A new policy, it is unclear if there are to be multiple annual seasons, or just one. Please check regularly.
• WRITE YOUR SCRIPT
• Are you LITERALLY just starting to write? Or do you just like reading about the art/craft? The writer's room has a section on how to get started and how to keep at it. Everything from structure to redrafting. Something of a cheat sheet for writing.
• BE INSPIRED
• Interviews with established writers... what more could you want.
• OPPORTUNITIES
• The BBC takes it upon itself to keep you informed about the chances you have to get your work published, produced, read, or commissioned by third parties. Even if you are too late to send your script to the BBC, you can always get it accepted by someone else.
• BBC SCRIPT LIBRARY
• The BBC version of Drew's Script-O-Rama.

The BBC Writer's Room is not just a website for writing. It is a website to keep you writing until you get that faithful knock at the door.
