SPOTLIGHT ON…
SitcomCircle
‘SitcomCircle is the writers’ circle for television writers (all genres) in the UK,’ writes Carol Tallon.
‘Our groups are now spread across the country, with 600+ members.
‘This is a place for existing, emerging and aspiring TV writers to come together to bounce around ideas, test proposals, perfect our pitches and hone our craft. With a maximum of 8-10 participants in each group, this is a great opportunity for scriptwriters to expand their industry network and to build relationships. Two of the key elements of the group focus on the creation and development of characters with depth and, perhaps most importantly, practising the art of TV dialogue. The latter is one of the most difficult transitions for any writer to make but it is the most crucial one for success in this arena. The group members also benefit from shared industry information and opportunities.
