Hello,
I’m
writing to you on behalf of IdeasTap, which is a not-for-profit
organisation that helps young people break into the arts and creative
industries. We offer all kinds of opportunities including funding, free
advice and skills sessions, and networking to help young people develop
and showcase their creative talent. We’re also partnered with major arts
organisations such as Old Vic New Voices, National Youth Theatre,
National Skills Academy for Creative and Cultural, Magnum Photos and
NSDF.
We
currently have a number of creative writing opportunities on our site
that we hope will appeal to the young writers with whom you work.
BBC
Writersroom is offering 40 IdeasTap members the chance to attend
hands-on radio and TV scriptwriting workshops with Writersroom
Development Producer Paul Ashton. This free workshop is aimed
specifically at writers aged 18-30 who don’t yet have broadcast
credits.
Want
to write for television? Got an idea for a cracking TV comedy script
but don’t know where to take it? We’re offering 20 places on a comedy
screenwriting workshop with Laurence Marks. Marks, who created sitcom
classics such as Goodnight Sweetheart and Birds of Feather, will offer
his advice on breaking into the industry and writing a strong script.
We’re offering a small editorial
team the chance to create and curate an anthology. It could be an
anthology of poetry, creative writing, photography, comedy.. whatever
sparks their imagination. We’ll provide funding and professional
mentoring to help get the project off the ground too.
We’re looking for a talented writer to write a weekly column for IdeasMag,
our online magazine. The columnist would be expected to write a
500-word column on culture and the arts, and they’ll get paid £125 a
week for it. This is a great chance for any young writer, anywhere in
the UK, to build up their editorial portfolio.
We’re keen to make all of these
opportunities accessible to as many talented young writers as possible,
so please do pass this information on to anyone you think would benefit
from them.
