Channel 4 Northern Talent Network: Script Hubs
We are establishing three Script Hubs in Newcastle upon Tyne, Bradford and Online to provide peer support and networking. The Script Hubs will consist of four facilitated peer group sessions and two workshops across a five-month period. Writers must be prepared to engage in group activities and learn from professionals as they develop their work.
The sessions will take place between July 2024 and November 2024. Writers must have some experience writing scripts or be practising in another form, such as fiction or poetry, but do not need to have a commission. All members of the group should be willing to work collaboratively and looking to take their career in TV forward.
Participation is by application. Applications will open from Tuesday 23 April – Tuesday 4 June.
Schedule*:
Thursday 11 July 6-8pm – peer group
Thursday 25 July 6-8pm – peer group
Saturday 14 September 2-5pm – workshop
Thursday 10 October 6-8pm – peer group
Thursday 24 October 6-8pm – peer group
Saturday 9 November 2-5pm – workshop
Once the facilitated sessions and workshops are complete, the aim is that the three groups will continue to meet as self-directed peer groups, maintaining a continuing relationship with New Writing North.
*The schedule is to be confirmed
New Writing North’s Script Hubs are funded by Channel 4 as part of the Northern Talent Network. The Bradford Script Hub is produced in partnership with The Unit. The Newcastle and online script hubs receive funding from the North of Tyne Combined Authority.
