Deadline: 5pm on Monday 12th May or once the maximum capacity for submissions is received
The WFTV Kay Mellor Screenwriters’ Lab is a fully funded, intensive 5 day screenwriting lab for emerging writers who are women and people who identify as women, unrepresented, UK based, without a produced film or TV writing credit.
What you get:

The WFTV Kay Mellor Screenwriters’ Lab is an opportunity for you to work intensely on one script at final draft stage and develop it over the course of the lab to be pitch ready, create a network of peers and industry colleagues, build confidence in your craft and develop your writing voice in a supportive and distraction free environment.
