Writing for the BBC

All this listening to radio led me back to the BBC Writer's Room website:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/writersroom/

This was a place I used to visit regularly when I had more time. I noticed they have changed their submissions policy and now only accept unsolicited scripts at certain times of the year. The website also contains projects the BBC are involved in, opportunities for the writer new and experienced. If you think you can write a ten minute play containing a life changing event or transition then why not enter Little Pieces of Gold? The chosen plays will be given a director and cast and performed at the Park Theatre in London on 30th September. You have until 15th August this year to get your entry in and details can be found here:

There are also scripts from well known BBC programmes etc to download, to give you a feel of what is required, as well as templates to set your work to BBC standard and guidance for submissions. All you need to do is decide what you are going to write about ;)
