Whenever we do live events – Q&As, masterclasses,
workshops – writers always want to know about success stories. As we’re so busy
beavering away making things happen for as many writers as we can, it’s
sometimes easy to forget to make a fuss of those times when the magic really
works. So here’s more info about some of those success stories – original shows
that came out of our work, and BBC shows/strands for which writers have gone on
to write.
At a glance, it’s well over 100 writers who have gone on to be commissioned
and produced for TV and film, and well over 200 for radio - which by any
standards is a very real success rate. We’ve had writers go on to be nominated
for and win a BAFTA, we’ve had an OSCAR nomination, we’ve had Imison,
Tinniswood and Sony award winners. But more importantly, we’ve had writers who
have developed a long-standing relationship with the BBC - in some cases
various parts of the BBC – and writers who are now some of the most
sought-after talents and voices of their generation. And for each and every one
of them, it all essentially started with a script.
