As a writer, much of what you do is solo; but to help get the creative juices flowing and to ensure you don’t get bogged down in the wrong sort of detail or paint yourself in to a creative cul de sac, I have designed this course to focus your mind and give you access to my experience in the development of tv series.
It will be intensive, but fun and collaborative as well as instructive.
Story Away Day

I will take you through my process taking each writers’ project individually and I will show you how you can pull out your themes, your message and identify your narrative through line.
Using my tried and tested Treatment Template as a guide, I will take you through the treatment writing process and then you will write your own treatment.

The 4 day course is always intensive, fun, and packed with information. It is important to me to convey how essential this job is to ensure the continued high standard of series television drama production in this country. Focusing on the control and development of High End Series and Serial Drama narratives, this course has proven to be successful in bringing a fresh and consistent flow of new and burgeoning script development talent entering at ground level, direct into the Television Industry.

JEM DRYER Delegate/script editor If you ever want to see a real wizard at work, sign up for Yvonne Grace’s Script Editing for Television course right this second. The way Yvonne can take apart a script is genuinely dazzling to watch, and you can’t help but feel yourself becoming ten times the script editor you were just by watching her process. There is no explanation for being able to cover every aspect of script analysis and editing, storylining, delivering notes to writers, and understanding the script editor’s role in production in only four days other than magic.
