On June 14th I'll be picking somebody at random for FREE 1:1 development, going from initial idea to finished script over 10-12 weeks If you want to be considered comment KARMA, like and RT No need to pitch your hardship, times are tight for most so we'll use the honour system
June’s intake of my 1:1 screenwriter development programme is open! Writers I work with win comps, sign with agents, and get scripts optioned! Times are tough right now so I’d love to offer 1 FREE place on a bursary. What’s the fairest way to pick? https://t.co/XaC2t7oiUD
