We work with writers of all types. Including screenwriters.

We held our first ever #ScreenwritingWeekender earlier this month. Golden Globe and Bafta winner Peter Straughan kicked off in style.

I’ve really enjoyed attending the Screenwriting Weekender in Newcastle. Not just because it’s in the North and it’s refreshing to not have to travel to London. But, what a fantastic, jam-packed schedule filled with people on the panels with regional accents. A superb event. Well worth the trip.
