Introduction to writing workshop
Fully funded by The Arts Council, Anyone Can Write, runs free online workshops, via Zoom, as well as individual mentoring sessions. Our main aim is to target people from under-represented backgrounds and people who live outside of London and are lacking support.
Through our online workshops, led by an Olivier Nominated Writer, we share information about what makes good writing and how to get your script to the next stage of its development and in front of the right people. We want to explain how Theatre/TV/Film industries accept new writing, what they look for and ultimately how to get your foot in the door. A lot of this knowledge is assumed and not easily accessible, particularly for people with socio-economic barriers, those who didn't attend drama/film school or have no contacts/relationships with venues or theatre/tv companies.
