SCRIPT WRITERS 

SCRIPT SUBMISSIONS FOR SUMMER DRAMAS 2022 ARE NOW OPEN. THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS MAY 20TH AT 10PM.

The scheme is open to all talents and will enable you to develop your skills in writing. Throughout the process you’ll be supported by experienced industry screenwriters. You will learn how to develop your ideas into a lively and engaging screenplay.

If your idea is chosen you will attend script development meetings/workshops which will cover all aspects of screenwriting, to help you develop your idea into the very best script it can be!

  • We want to open It’s My Shout up to everyone, rather than only those who have experience in script writing. This isn’t to say that we’ll be favouring newer writers, it just makes the playing field more level.
  • If we’re involved from the very beginning, we can help you build your script from the idea up, and help you to make it as successful, individual and accomplished as it can be.
  • We can give you the full experience of the process of working with a script editor and development team from concept to shooting script. Something more like real TV and film development.
