The biggest screenwriting prize in the UK?

You've probably already heard about this but just in case you haven't, check out:

Wellcome Trust Screenwriting Prize

It's an annual prize, and obviously quite niche. But in this climate (or maybe any climate) a 20k development deal cannot be ignored.

Good luck

Last minute ticket for James Moran/Dan Turner Workshop tomorrow!‏

Hi everyone.
Shoulder is slowly getting better and normal service on this blog will hopefully be resumed soon.

In the meantime, my friend Hannah Duncan has a place on Dan Turner and James Moran’s workshop at Elstree Studios tomorrow (8th June) but can no longer go. She can't get her money back but they've said if she can find someone to take her place, that’s OK.

... ... One Day Workshop: "The Big Idea"
June 08, 10 - 6pm at Elstree Studios (Lunch included)

This workshop is suitable for those with some experience in writing, such as self-taught writers with a portfolio of work (unproduced or otherwise), or screenwriting/film/media students. The workshop is not really suitable for those that have never written before.
A hands-on experience that takes you through how to generate an idea, how to pitch it, and then gives you essential information on how to take you and your ideas to the next level.

It's just £40 (ono as it's such short notice) for the day which includes lunch and sounds like it should be really interesting.

If anyone is interested please contact Hannah directly on hlsduncan"at"gmail.com
