The
BBC is looking for writers hailing who want to write comedy
for television. In particular it wants writers
“who have a passion for TV Comedy, a strong individual and funny
voice and excellent characterisation skills”.
The ‘Northern Laughs’ initiative has been set up by BBC Comedy, BBC writersroom, Northern Film & Media, Screen Yorkshire, and North West Vision & Media. It will provide training and development for up to three writers from each Northern region (North East, Yorkshire and North West), including workshops and mentoring from leading comedy writers, such as Jeremy Dyson (‘The League of Gentlemen’, ‘Funland’). In addition, each writer will receive a development bursary from BBC Writersroom, with the prospect of having work showcased at the Edinburgh Festival in August 2009. At the end of the development process each script will be considered by BBC Comedy and the best ideas will be put forward to the BBC Comedy Commissioner in the North. Writers will also have a script suitable for applying to the BBC’s College of Comedy 2010. Guidelines and application forms are available at:
Applications need to be submitted by Thursday March 12 2009. |

"Nothing I write about my journey with Phil can adequately describe his patience, diligence and the wonderful way he has coached and counselled me in all aspects of screenwriting. Phil is an amazing person to work with because if he thinks your work good he tells you so and if not, well he tells you that too, but then immediately goes about working with you to improve. I've learned so much. Thanks Phil." Bev McMullen, Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada "As senior media executive in the states with over 20 years experience producing TV and running a major TV/Recording Studio I've recently dedicated myself to writing full time... I'm incorporating Phil's work into my original feature projects, and already can see and feel an improvement. And this is just the start for me... I'm thrilled I found Phil... You will be too! Best to all of you..." Andy Kadison, New York, NY "Phil Gladwin shares to the point technical tips. He joins these with even more valuable insights into how to "tap into" your heart and soul writing. Proven & tested real time exercises get you jump started WHENEVER you need it. Thanks Phil" John Harrison, Castle Rock, Colorado "The screenwriting goldmine newsletter from Phil Gladwin is the single most useful tool for a screenwriter to have for its straightforward and clear attention to the details of screenwriting that I haven't found in any other workshop or book on the subject.
